The Atlantic and Pacific meet with a crash of waves and a cacophony of spray at Cabo de Hornos (Cape Horn). The southernmost point of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, Cape Horn was first sighted by Sir Francis Drake, but due to its violent sailing conditions (like 60 mph gale force winds), it was not discovered until 1616 by a group of Dutch sailors. Cape Horn became an indispensable trade route for two centuries, connecting Europe to Australia and Asia, and even played a role in the California Gold Rush. Now, it can be reached (weather permitting) via cruise ship or boat. The island has a small lighthouse, chapel, and two monuments to the sailors who ventured there, one being an iron albatross that symbolizes the souls of some 10,000 sailors who lost their lives in the surrounding waters..
