ITS PLACES PUERTO AGUIRRE This remote fishermen village is in the Huichas Island, located in the Chonos Archipelago. It’s inhabitants have every basic equipment offered in a city, but with the tranquility that offers its surrounding. QUITRALCO FJORD Quitralco Fjord is an ancient sea bed surrounded by enormous snowy mountains, with an exuberant, dense and unique forest that has a warm microclimate and is surrounded by a calm and transparent sea. This is where Skorpios has a paradisiacal place for its passengers, with warm and pure thermal volcanic springs with temperatures ranging between 32º and 38º C, with indoor and outdoor pools, and hot spring baths and steam baths. Trekking in the middle of this southern forest is another way of enjoying the beauty of the area. Here, we will eat a Chilean and Patagonian barbecue. Quitralco means "Fire Water" in native language. PUERTO EDÉN Puerto Edén is a fishing village on Isla Wellington, the birthplace of the Kaweskar or Alacalufe people. This tiny village has 300 inhabitants, the majority of whom are small scale fishermen. This is the place to buy arts and crafts made by the last descendants of the Kaweskar. PIO XI GLACIER As we keep on sailing north along the waters of Sound Eyre, nature offers us an awesome sight, the absolute and incredible beauty of Pío XI Glacier. The front wall of this gigantic ice formation is some 6 kilometres wide and 75 metres high as an average, although some of its peaks reach elevations of some 90 metres. This is the largest glacier in the southern hemisphere. It covers an area of 1,265 km2, which means that it could contain a city as large as Santiago, Chile. One of its most notable features is that it is one of the few glaciers in the world that continues to develop, in fact, it has grown by more than 10 kilometres over the past 50 years. The sight as we sail through the ice floes that the glacier drops into the sea is impressive and incredibly beautiful, as it brings us closer to nature and to our inner selves.

ITS PLACES AMALIA GLACIER We follow Estero Peel until we come to Amalia Glacier, located in the middle of the Southern Ice Field - the third most important fresh water reserve in the world. Its elongated silouhette seems to fall off the mountains, and is an incredibly beautiful sight. Its ice tower and the contrast of its coloured ice against the mountains are awesome. Amalia Glacier has an approximate width of some 2.5 kilometres and an elevation of 70 metres. The most important part of this ice mass is fed by the heavy snowfall that affects the region during most of the year. When Skorpios III reaches this beautiful site, she sails to its front wall and then follows its shores from north to south to catch as much as possible of its gorgeous azure hues. This glacier is enormously important for science as it has a volcano that rises from its very centre. This is Mount Reclus, which is a total mystery to volcanologists because of its location and behaviour. EL BRUJO GLACIER The end of Fjord Asia has a beautiful glacier with absolutely magnificent surroundings. This is the El Brujo Glacier. Our adventure includes lowering our boats and approaching the glacier to reach its half formed magmatic rock, which will show us the way in which the glacier has modelled its surroundings. We will also have a panoramic view of this immense ice wall.

    ROUTE OF PARKS OF CHILEAN PATAGONIA The Route of Parks of Chilean Patagonia is one of the last wild places on earth. The Route’s 17 National Parks span the entire south of Chile, from Puerto Montt all the way down to Cape Horn. Aside from offering travelers what is perhaps the world’s most scenic journey, the Route has also helped revitalize more than 60 local communities through conservation-centered tourism. This 1,740-mile Route spans a full third of Chile. Its ecological value is underscored by the number of endemic species and the rich biodiversity of its temperate rainforests, sub-Antarctic climates, wetlands, towering massifs, icefields, and its spectacular fjord system–the largest in the world. The Route’s pristine ecosystems, largely untouched by human intervention, capture three times more carbon per acre than the Amazon. They’re also home to endangered species like the Huemul (South Andean Deer) and Darwin’s Frog. The Route of Parks is born of a vision of conservation that seeks to balance the protection of the natural world with human economic development. This vision emphasizes the importance of conserving and restoring complete ecosystems, which are sources of pride, prosperity, and belonging for the people who live in and near them. It’s a unique opportunity to reverse the extinction crisis and climate chaos currently ravaging our planet–and to provide a hopeful, harmonious model of a different way forward. 1 ALERCE ANDINO National Park This park, declared a National Biosphere Reserve of Temperate Rainforests, features 97,000 acres of evergreen rainforest.

  • Finding More Missing Pieces of a Puzzle in a Maze
    FINDING MORE MISSING PIECES OF A PUZZLE IN A MAZE continuing the benthic exploration of channels and fjords in Southern Chilean Patagonia As an intricate system of fjords, labyrinth of channels and islands, each exemplifying different stages of glacial action and associated successional periglacial ecosystems, the Chilean fjord region offers extremely diversified benthic communities which, despite being unique worldwide, have been among the least studied so far. This region is threatened by different anthropogenic effects, such as global warming, the huge salmon farming industry planning to move into currently unprotected fjords, or illegal fishing of protected shellfish species such as ʻlocosʼ (Concholepas concholepas). In order to protect benthic fauna and monitor future changes in biodiversity distribution, it is essential to create accurate faunistic inventories. This is why we initiated a series of scientific expeditions, beginning in 2005. The first one lead us to the Guaitecas Archipelago, south of Grand Chiloé Island. The second took us to the fjords Tempano and Bernardo, including adjacent channels down to 49°S (see GME3, pp. 18–21). Enriched by our 2005 experience, we embarked in 2006 for another adventurous boat trip further south to 52°S. Our international team (seven in total) started Sample sorting through the night. gathering in Punta Arenas at the beginning of March, end of headed north through the channels along Puerto Eden as the austral summer.

La pregunta sobre si los ecosistemas marinos cumplieron un rol en el poblamiento humano de Fuego-Patagonia hacia la transición Pleistoceno-Holoceno aún sigue abierta, no descartada. Este planteamiento tiñe además argumentaciones en torno al posible origen geográfico de la adaptación de cazadores-recolectores al medio litoral y marino, así como la velocidad de dispersión de este proceso (Legoupil y Fontugne 1997; Borrero 2001; Ocampo y Rivas 2004; Orquera y Piana 2006; Orquera et al. 2011; Prieto et al. 2013; San Román 2014).

Requerida su información por los españoles, los llamados “caciques chonos” dieron noticias del mundo austral al que pertenecían, en el que España nunca tuvo presencia efectiva, pero su jurisdicción y control correspondía a Chiloé. Sus informaciones fueron dando lugar a la formación de un conocimiento geográfico y cultural español del territorio entre el archipiélago de las Guaitecas y el confín del continente, que valoraron con interés geopolítico. Siendo este, el geopolítico, el principal interés en ese mundo bordemarino, las informaciones requeridas y proporcionadas sobre colonias de náufragos españoles, de ingleses ocultos, o de indígenas aun no conocidos, fueron determinantes y movilizaron o no a los colonos de Chiloé sobre su frontera austral. Palabras claves: chonos, período colonial, interacción, Chiloé, Patagonia.

  • Antioxidant Capacity and Total Phenolic Compounds of Twelve Selected Potato Landrace Clones Grown in Southernchile
    RESEARCH ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY AND TOTAL PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS OF TWELVE SELECTED POTATO LANDRACE CLONES GROWN IN SOUTHERNCHILE Kong Ah-Hen1, Carolina Fuenzalida2, Susan Hess3, Andrés Contreras2, Antonio Vega-Gálvez4*, and Roberto Lemus-Mondaca4, 5 Colored potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) provide a natural source of phytochemicals that help reduce the risk of diseases. However, there is a lack of information on the degree of variation of the antioxidant activity and polyphenolic contents of these native potatoes. Thus, the antioxidant activity (AA) and total phenolic content (TPC) of native Chilean potatoes were determined. Twelve potato landrace clones collected from established cultivations on Chiloe Island and Valdivia were selected. Total phenolic content and AA were compared with two commercial varieties, Shepody and Desirée. Total phenolic content was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and β-carotene bleaching was used to compare AA. The TPC varied in the peeled potato samples from 191 to 1864 mg 100 g-1 DM meanwhile these parameters varied from 345 to 2852 mg 100 g-1 DM in unpeeled samples. Antioxidant activity was higher in unpeeled potatoes, and was the highest in the unpeeled NG-6 or ‘Bruja’ native potato. The commercial var. Shepody showed pro-oxidant activity and had a relatively lower TPC. Results also indicated a higher concentration of total phenolics in the periderm of the colored native Chilean potatoes. Key words: Chilean potatoes, Solanum tuberosum, antioxidant activity, total phenolics, Folin-Ciocalteu, β-carotene. he most widely cultivated variety of potato tubers, (Ames et al., 1993; Hercberg et al., 1998; Velioglu et al., Solanum tuberosum Group Tuberosum, is indigenous 1998; Tamimi et al., 2002).
