Patagonia is known as an area
of vast landscapes, few people and rugged terrain. I visited the
most southerly region of Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and the Chilean
islands as part of a film shoot for Angry Planet. The locals call
the area "Fin del Mundo", the "End of the World"
and it certainly feels like it. If you any farther south, you'll
end up in Antarctica. It was Puerto Williams, Chile where I boarded
the sailing vessel Northanger to sail around the treacherous waters
of Cape Horn and to explore the glaciers of the Beagle Channel.

from Alaska to southern Argentina
