Straits Of Magellan, Chile

The Strait of Magellan is a navigable sea route immediately south of mainland Chile and north of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. It is approximately 570 km long and is about 2 km wide at its narrowest point, and is the most important natural passage between the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans. It is considered a difficult route to navigate because of the inhospitable climate and the narrowness of the passage.
