Antarctica -- October-November 2010

Another photograph of a chart taped to the Fram's Bistro wall. The circled area includes Cape Horn (Cabo de Hornes), which, as stated earlier is not where I had thought it was. The (Chilean) national park called Cabo de Hornes includes more islands than the island of Cabo de Hornes itself.

This map shows a portion of the convoluted boundary between Chile and Argentina in this area. The boundary is a north-south line coming from the north until it strikes the Beagle Channel, the the channel itself becomes the bourdary. The national park in Argentina from which I took an earlier photograph showing mountains in Chile, is on the dashed line in the area just below the "A" in the work "Argentina" (written vertically).

I may have said in the discussion of a previous photo that Cape Horn is an island (and perhaps it is -- that wasn't clear during the trip). It could be that Horn (or Horne) is the name of the island, and the cape is a geographical feature on the south side of it.
