The Strait of Magellan (Strait of Magellan) is located at the southernmost tip of the South American continent, surrounded by islands such as Tierra del Fuego. The Portuguese navigator Magellan first entered the Pacific Ocean through the Strait in 1520, so the name was given. The Strait of Magellan is winding, 563 kilometers long, the narrowest is only 3.3 kilometers, the widest is about 32 kilometers, the latitude is 71°W, 54°S. The Strait of Magellan is the most important natural channel between the South Atlantic and the South Pacific, but it is difficult for ships to navigate due to long periods of harsh weather, coupled with the narrowness of the Strait.

    The Magellan Strait is connected to the Atlantic Ocean in the east and west, 592 kilometers long, and 33 kilometers wide from the north and south. The Strait is divided into two sections by the central Cape of Froed. The western section of the Strait is narrow and twisty, with a width of 48 kilometers at the entrance, and only 3.3 kilometers at the narrowest, with a deep water depth and a depth of 1170 meters. The rock banks on both sides are steep and towering, and every winter, huge glaciers hang on the rock walls, and the scene is spectacular, and every time the falling ice falls into the sea, it will make a thunderous noise and threaten the ship's navigation.

    The Strait of Magellan is the world's famous channel. There is a Strait of Magellan square, and the center of the square is a statue of Magellan crossing the Strait, which is very striking. The sea view here is very good, the view is wide, and it is definitely a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset.

    The world-famous Strait of Magellan lies in Punta Areras, Chile, and is much narrower than expected. You can easily look across the Magellan Square. There are many piers, it is an important shipping channel in the world, and the business is also very developed. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Straits on Magellan Square and take pictures in front of the statue.
