Beagle Channel Live Cam

History

The Beagle Channel, a narrow waterway in the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago, is one of the southernmost navigable routes in the world, separating the main island of Tierra del Fuego from smaller islands to the south. Its history is deeply intertwined with exploration, geopolitical significance, and indigenous cultures. Named after HMS Beagle, the British survey ship that carried Charles Darwin on his legendary voyage in the 1830s, the channel has since become a symbol of discovery and human resilience in the face of nature's extremes.
