Who invited you, anyway?

....j/k dear.

That might be the shortest stint yet, yes I'm in Tierra del Fuego...HEY WAIT! No I'm not in Tiera Del Fuego it's Tierra del Fuego! I doubt that angle will fly. Here's some cool pics of the place:

Tierra del Fuego (Spanish for "Land of Fire") is an archipelago 73,753 km2 (28,476 sq mi), off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland, across the Strait of Magellan. The southern point of the archipelago forms Cape Horn.

The archipelago consists of a main island (Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, often simply called Tierra del Fuego or Isla Grande) with an area of 48,100 km2 (18,572 sq mi), and a group of smaller islands. The main island is separated between two countries: 18,507.3 square kilometres (38.57% of total) belongs to Argentina, while 29,484.7 square kilometres (61.43% of total) belongs to Chile. Half of this island, and the islands west and south of it, are part of the Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Region, the capital and chief town of which is Punta Arenas, situated on the mainland across the strait. The biggest Chilean towns are Porvenir, capital of the Chilean Province of Tierra del Fuego, on the main island, and Puerto Williams, on Navarino Island, being the capital of the Antártica Chilena Province. Puerto Toro lies a few kilometers south of Puerto Williams and is the southernmost village in the world.

The eastern part of the archipelago belongs to Argentina, being part of the Tierra del Fuego, Antarctic Territory and South Atlantic Islands Province; its capital is Ushuaia, the biggest city of the archipelago. The other important city in the region is Río Grande on the Atlantic coast.

The Darwin Range ends in the Mount Bove; this range contains many glaciers that reach the ocean. Mount Darwin is the highest peak at 2,488 metres (8,163 ft).

Good fishing, too. A monster sea run brown trout caught on a light fly outfit by famous guide Alejandro Martello:
