Punta Arenas, Magallanes, Region of Magallanes and Chilean Antartica Region, Chile, South America
Punta Arenas is a commune and the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. The city was officially renamed Magallanes in 1927, but in 1938 it was changed back to Punta Arenas. It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel south. As of 1977 Punta Arenas has been one of only two free ports in Chile.
Located on the Brunswick Peninsula north of the Strait of Magellan, Punta Arenas was originally established by the Chilean government in 1848 as a tiny penal colony to assert sovereignty over the Strait. During the remainder of the 1800s, Punta Arenas grew in size and importance due to the increasing maritime traffic and trade traveling to the west coasts of South and North America. This period of growth also resulted from the waves of immigrants attracted to the gold rush and sheep farming boom in the 1880s and early 1900s. The largest sheep company, controlling 10,000 acres in Chile and Argentina, was based in Punta Arenas, and its owners lived there. Chile used Punta Arenas as a base for its defense of its sovereignty in this southernmost part of South America. The Strait of Magellan was subsequently recognized as Chilean territory in the Boundary treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina. The geopolitical importance of Punta Arenas has remained high in the 20th and 21st centuries because of its logistic importance in accessing the Antarctic Peninsula. Located on the Brunswick Peninsula, Punta Arenas is among the largest cities in the entire Patagonian Region. In 2002, it had a population of 120,000. It is roughly 1418.4 km from the coast of Antarctica. The Magallanes region is considered part of Chilean Patagonia. Magallanes is Spanish for Magellan, and was named for Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain. While circumnavigating the earth for Spain, he passed close to the present site of Punta Arenas in 1520. Early English navigational documents referred to this site as Sandy Point. The city proper is located on the northeastern shore of Brunswick Peninsula. Except for the eastern shore, containing the settlements of Guairabo, Rio Amarillo and Punta San Juan, the peninsula is largely uninhabited. The municipality (commune) of Punta Arenas includes all of Brunswick Peninsula, as well as all islands west of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and north of Cockburn and Magdalena channels. By 2006 the economy of Punta Arenas and the region had diversified considerably, and the city is vibrant and modern. Chile's principal oil reserves, though small, are located here, along with some low-grade coal. A modern methanol plant is located a short distance from the city. Agricultural production, including sheep and cattle, continues to play a significant role Tourism has contributed to the city's popularity and steady growth. Some cruise ships to Antarctica depart from Punta Arenas's port, which also serves as a hub for many cruise lines that travel along the channels and fjords of the region. Fisheries and silviculture are also significant here. A regular ferry service connects Punta Arenas with the main island of Tierra del Fuego and a less frequent ferry runs to the Chilean town of Puerto Williams. A modern airport serves international connections and is often a stopping point for aircraft going to or coming from Antarctica. The city is served by Presidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo International Airport, which has flights operated by LAN Airlines, Aerovías DAP and Sky Airline; most flights are to other destinations within Chile, although Ushuaia (Argentina) and Mount Pleasant (Falkland Islands) are also served. Paved highways connect Punta Arenas with Argentina. Punta Arenas has an oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfc). The seasonal temperature in Punta Arenas is greatly moderated by its proximity to the ocean, with average lows in July near −1 °C (30 °F) and highs in January of 14 °C (57 °F). This is not to say that it is known for stable constant temperatures, only small variability with season. Rainfall is most plentiful between April and May, and snow season goes all through Chilean winter (June until September). The average temperature does not descend below +1 °C (34 °F). Among Chileans the city is also known for its strong winds (up to 130 km/hour). Winds tend to be strongest during the summer; city officials have put up ropes between buildings in the downtown area to assist pedestrians with managing the strong downdrafts created in the area. Since 1986, Punta Arenas has been the first significantly populated city in the world to be affected directly by the thinning in the ozone layer. Its residents are considered to be exposed to potentially damaging levels of ultraviolet radiation. Since the Falklands War, when transport ties were severed between the Falkland Islands and Argentina, Punta Arenas has become a major outside link to the archipelago.
Tierra del Fuego, Región de Magallanes, Chile - Unravel Travel TV
The Region of Magellan, officially the XII Region of Magellan and Chilean Antarctica (Spanish: XII Región de Magallanes y de la Antártica Chilena), is one of Chile's 15 first order administrative divisions. It is the southernmost, largest and second least populated region of Chile. It comprises four provinces: Última Esperanza, Magellan, Tierra del Fuego, and Antártica Chilena. Magellan has many globally known places and geographical features including Torres del Paine, Cape Horn, Tierra del Fuego island, and the Strait of Magellan. It also includes the Antarctic territory claimed by Chile. The main economic activities are bovine farming, oil extraction and tourism. This region is also home of the Patagonian Expedition Race.
The region contains mountainous peaks and glaciers in the far north, including elements of the Patagonian Ice Sheet. Further south there are other mountain ranges such as the Cerro Toro and numerous surface waters including the Seno Última Esperanza, Eberhard Fjord and Lago Grey. Protected areas include the Torres del Paine National Park and the Cueva del Milodon Natural Monument, at the latter of which have been discovered remains of the extinct Giant Sloth as well as of prehistoric man dating to circa 10,000 BC.

Punta Arenas, Chile
Recorded February 26, 2009.
Punta Arenas (literally in Spanish: Sandy Point) is the most prominent settlement on the Strait of Magellan and the capital of the Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region, Chile. Located on the Brunswick Peninsula, Punta Arenas is the southernmost city of its size in the world. Punta Arenas is the third largest city in the entire Patagonian Region. In 2002, it had a population of 120,000.
This video begins as we sail into the harbor on the Star Princess and drop anchor. The first thing we see are many dolphins swimming in the harbor. Next we drive along the main street in Punta Arenas viewing the many monuments along the way. Next there is a visit to the Patagonian Institute Museum which is followed by a visit to the cemetery which is landscaped with many beautiful cypress trees. The video concludes with a walk through the town square followed by a hilltop view of the city looking out toward the Strait of Magellan.

Antártica Chilena Region / Magallanes
Capital: Punta Arenas/Area: 132,297.2 km2 /Population: 150,826 inhabitants / Population density: 1.1 inhab/km2 /Principal economic activities: Mining, manufacturing, livestock farming, fishing and tourism.The Magallanes Region stretches across two continents, with one foot in the Americas and the other in the Antarctic. It is Chile's southernmost and coldest region and includes the Straits of Magellan and the Drake Sea, the only natural sea routes between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.It is named after Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese sailor who was the first European to set foot there when seeking a way through the Americas as the shortest route to the Spice Islands. When he found it, on November 1, 1520, he christened it the Straits of All Saints.Until the Panama Canal opened in 1914, ships had to pass through these straits, now known as the Straits of Magellan, giving the region early fame. However, it did not begin to be colonized until 1848 when the regional capital, Punta Arenas, was founded and the region's enormous sheep farms started to be established.
Despite the passing of the years, Magallanes has not lost the pioneering spirit characteristic of frontier regions. The disperse geography seen in the Aysén Region continues south until continental Chile ends at Cape Froward on the Straits of Magellan.Further south, there is Tierra del Fuego and, on Navarino Island, Puerto Williams, the world's southernmost town. In the Beagle Channel, there are the Picton, Lennox and Nueva Islands.Successive waves of immigration --from Chile, Argentina, England, Wales and Croatia-- meant a 27- fold increase in the region's population during the nineteenth century.Punta Arenas is the point of contact and service center for all activities in Antarctica. This territory, whose borders were defined in 1940, stretches to the South Pole between 53ºW and 90°W. Chile signed the Antarctic Treaty in 1959 and founded the first base there in 1947 on Greenwich Island.The early development of the Magallanes Region was characterized by a gold rush and livestock farming. However, the discovery of oil on Tierra del Fuego on December 29, 1945 gave the region's growth a new boost and, for years, oil was its main source of income and, at its peak, supplied half of Chile's consumption.Despite the gradual depletion of the region's oil wells, energy production continues to be the region's main economic activity. Chile's main oil company, the Empresa Nacional del Petróleo (ENAP), operates there and is also the leading gas supplier, while Methanex Chile produces methanol.The development of livestock farming has also served as a key source of revenue, taking advantage of the region's vast natural grasslands, suitable soils and climate, local expertise and the existence of different species and races of animals. According to the latest Agricultural Census, Magallanes was home to 52.1% of the country's cattle.The region's exports are led by chemicals, followed by fishing and agricultural products.Some 2,500 ships pass through the Straits of Magellan each year, creating demand for port services. The region has the infrastructure and capacity to provide the services.Including its well-known repair expertise-- required by boats for domestic freight transport, tourism, fishing and scientific research.Over the past decade, Magallanes has seen a sustained increase in tourism. Patagonia attracts thousands of visitors, particularly from Europe. The Torres del Paine National Park is considered one of the most beautiful, unspoilt and remote places on earth. At the feet of its Cuernos (Horns) and around its lakes, there are guanacos, foxes, hares, rheas, woodpeckers, small eagles and condors.
PUNTA ARENAS, the STRAIT OF MAGELLAN, and a 10-MILE HIKE to the AIRPORT (Chile ????????)
The day after going to Torres del Paine National Park, I went to the city of Punta Arenas, the capital of the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region, located on the coast of the Strait of Magellan. I saw the statue of Ferdinand Magellan, got a picture with the Punta Arenas sign, and walked along the Strait of Magellan. Here's my travel vlog of this unforgettable adventure in Chilean Patagonia.

Punta Arenas/Chile:
Punta Arenas is a commune and the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. The city was officially renamed Magallanes in 1927, but in 1938 it was changed back to Punta Arenas. It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel south. As of 1977 Punta Arenas has been one of only two free ports in Chile.[4]
Located on the Brunswick Peninsula north of the Strait of Magellan, Punta Arenas was originally established by the Chilean government in 1848 as a tiny penal colony to assert sovereignty over the Strait. During the remainder of the 1800s, Punta Arenas grew in size and importance due to the increasing maritime traffic and trade traveling to the west coasts of South and North America. This period of growth also resulted from the waves of immigrants attracted to the gold rush and sheep farming boom in the 1880s and early 1900s. The largest sheep company, controlling 10,000 square kilometres in Chile and Argentina, was based in Punta Arenas, and its owners lived there.
Since its founding Chile has used Punta Arenas as a base to defend its sovereignty claims in the southernmost part of South America. This led, among other things, to the Strait of Magellan being recognized as Chilean territory in the Boundary treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina. The geopolitical importance of Punta Arenas has remained high in the 20th and 21st centuries because of its logistic importance in accessing the Antarctic Peninsula.Punta Arenas has a population of over 127,000 inhabitants (2012 Census). According to the 2002 census of the National Statistics Institute, the Punta Arenas commune has 119,496 inhabitants (60,616 men and 58,880 women). Of these, 116,005 (97.1%) lived in urban areas and 3,491 (2.9%) in rural areas. The population grew by 5.1% (5,830 persons) between the 1992 and 2002 censuses. It further rose to 127,454 at the 2012 Census.[3]
The city was populated by many colonists from Spain and Croatia in the mid-nineteenth century and many of their descendants still live there. Other national ethnic groups represented are German, English, Italian, Swiss, and Irish.
Croatian immigration to Punta Arenas was a crucial development in the region of Magallanes and the city in particular. Currently, this influence is still reflected in the names of shops, streets and many buildings. According to some references, some 50% of the population of Punta Arenas are ethnic Croats.

Sitting by the Strait of Magellan Punta Arenas was established originally as a tiny penal colony in 1848. During the rest of the 1800s, it became increasingly large and important as international trade across the straits grew and the countryside around experienced a gold rush and a sheep farming boom around 1900. Chile effectively used Punta Arenas to exert sovereignty in southernmost South America leading to the strait of Magellan being recognized as Chilean in the Boundary treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina. The geopolitical importance of Punta Arenas has remained high in the 20th and 21st centuries as the city is important for logistics in the Antarctic peninsula.
