Mount Fitz Roy

The Patagonia region comprises the southern tip of South America, of both Argentina and Chile. Its southern most islands extend further south than Africa’s Cape Agulhas or New Zealand’s Stewart Island, often serving as base to launch expeditions into Antarctica. The weather is subpolar. Without any major landmass to inhibit its flow, the airstream rips around the south pole unimpeded. Wind here often exceeds 100km/h.
