Primarily consisting of one large island, Isla Grande, and many smaller ones, mostly uninhabited, Tierra del Fuego is bounded by the Strait of Magellan in the North and the Drake Passage to the South. We learn how the ‘Land of Fire’ got its name and that Magellan may not have been the first explorer to discover the Strait. Based in Ushuaia, our explorations reveal more of the history of the island and its original inhabitants and we visit an eared seal colony, Cormorant Island, and a national park that shares its boundary with Chile. For more information see International Features episode 39.
