Few places in the world have captivated the imagination of explorers and travelers like Patagonia. Almost 500 years ago, the first Europeans sailed through on four ships captained by Ferdinand Magellan. But this vast region was one of the last to be settled and remains pristine and sparsely populated, protected by the harsh, cold climate. Sailors from around the world continue to test their luck and courage in these harrowing straits. Mountaineers stage elaborate excursions through rugged territories, only to be beaten back, like their predecessors, by unrelenting storms. What seduces so many people to Patagonia is the idea of the "remote"—indeed, the very notion of traveling to The End of the World. It is a seduction, but also an illusion. After all, on a globe, everywhere is both the center and the end of the earth at the same time. And people do live here—very few people, but those who do are hardy survivors.
