Views of the Beagle Channel, South America. The Beagle Channel is a strait separating islands of the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago, in extreme southern South America. It separates Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego from the islands Nueva, Picton, Navarino, Hoste, Londonderry, Stewart Islands and other smaller to the south. Its eastern portion is part of the border between Chile and Argentina, but the western part is completely within Chile. The west end is the Darwin Sound and the east end is Nueva Island. The channel was named after the ship HMS Beagle during its first hydrographic survey of the coasts of the southern part of South America which lasted from 1826 to 1830. Although it is navigable by large ships, there are safer waters to the south (Drake Passage) and to the north (Strait of Magellan). The Beagle Channel is about 150 miles (240 km) long and is about three miles (5 km) wide at its narrowest point. To the west the Darwin Sound connects it to the Pacific Ocean. The biggest settlement on the channel is Ushuaia in Argentina followed by Puerto Williams in Chile, two of the southernmost settlements of the world

Exploring the Enchanting Beagle Channel - A Window to South America's Southern Beauty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into a world of breathtaking wonders with this print by Michael S. Nolan. Behold the mesmerizing views of the Beagle Channel, a majestic strait that separates the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago in extreme southern South America. As your eyes wander across this stunning image, you'll be transported to a place where nature reigns supreme. The channel's crystal-clear waters gracefully flow between islands like Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and Nueva, Picton, Navarino, Hoste, Londonderry, and Stewart Islands. Named after the legendary ship HMS Beagle that charted these shores during its historic hydrographic survey from 1826 to 1830, this channel is steeped in history and adventure. While it offers safe passage for large ships today, there are still wilder waters to explore further south (hello Drake Passage!) or north (ahoy Strait of Magellan!). Spanning approximately 150 miles long and three miles wide at its narrowest point, the Beagle Channel is truly a sight to behold. Its western end connects with the vast Pacific Ocean through Darwin Sound while its eastern tip brushes against Nueva Island. Join us on an imaginary voyage as we marvel at this awe-inspiring photograph captured by Michael S. Nolan. Let your imagination run wild amidst one of Earth's last frontiers – where Ushuaia in Argentina and Puerto Williams in Chile stand proudly as two of humanity's most remote settlements.
