Passage through Chile’s Tierra del Fuego around Cape Horn
The spirit of Magellan is alive and well as Joseph circumnavigates the tip of South America on an expedition passenger ship. He sails through Tierra del Fuego and around Cape Horn on his latest Chilean adventure. As the ship follows Darwin’s watery trail, he travels into the Beagle Channel and through the “Avenue of Glaciers” where the majestic Spain, Romanche, Germany, Italy, France and Holland glaciers seem close enough to touch. Along the way he encounters Elephant Seals, Magellanic Penguins and sea birds aplenty. A highlight of the journey is a stop on Isla Hornos – Horn Island – where Joseph stands at the end of the Americas and visits the memorial to the ancient mariners who lost their lives on their Cape Horn passage.
Waitt Expedition with National Geographic’s Pristine Seas in Cape Horn. Chile.
Working in collaboration with the National Geographic's Pristine Seas, we traveled from Punta Arenas through the Francisco Coloane Marine Park, the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, Cape Horn, and the Diego Ramírez Islands. The goal: to study and film the marine ecosystems in the region’s fjords and remote islands.
To achieve a comprehensive survey of the environment, the team made scuba dives to depths of up to 30 meters, used remote underwater video and open-water cameras, and deployed deep-sea drop cams to depths of over 2,000 meters. Among the wildlife they observed were humpback whales, sea lions, rockhopper penguins, albatrosses, false king crabs, and kelp forests populated by sea stars, sponges, and other marine invertebrates.

Cape Horn (Dutch: Kaap Hoorn, Spanish: Cabo de Hornos; named after the city of Hoorn in the Netherlands) is the southernmost headland of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago of southern Chile, and is located on the small Hornos Island. Although not the most southerly point of South America, (which are the Diego Ramírez Islands) Cape Horn marks the northern boundary of the Drake Passage; for many years it was a major milestone on the clipper route, by which sailing ships carried trade around the world. However, the waters around the Cape are particularly hazardous, owing to strong winds, large waves, strong currents and icebergs; these dangers have made it notorious as a sailors' graveyard.
The need for ships to round the Cape Horn was greatly reduced by the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914. However, sailing around the Horn is widely regarded as one of the major challenges in yachting. Thus, a few recreational sailors continue to sail this route, sometimes as part of a circumnavigation of the globe, and almost all of these choosing routes through the channels to the north of the actual Cape (though many take a detour through the islands and anchor to wait for fair weather to actually visit Horn Island or even sail around it to replicate a rounding of this historic point). Several prominent ocean yacht races, notably the Volvo Ocean Race, the VELUX 5 Oceans and the Vendée Globe, sail around the world via the Horn, and speed records for round-the-world sailing are recognized for following this route.
Cruise to Cape Horn
This video was shot on a cruise from Punta Arenas, Chile, to Ushuaia, Argentina, in January 2012. The cruise promised a stop at Cape Horn, weather permitting. Weather permitted and we were able to go ashore. The cruise started on the Magellan Straits, continued on the Beagle Channel then south to Isla Hornos before turning around to finish at Ushuaia. Along the way we saw majestic mountains with many glaciers. Some glaciers were hanging others were tidal, touching the sea below. We also saw whales.

This was cruise day #11 of my 16-day cruise. In this video we rounded the notorious Cape Horn. We sail from the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean and then back into the Atlantic again. Visabilty was poor due to the weather conditions.

A video by Gene Anthony | Running time: 53 minutes
Narrated by actor and Emmy Award-winning narrator, Peter Coyote.
In 1978, photographer and writer Gene Anthony achieved a personal quest. His sea story takes us on an inspirational odyssey to Cape Horn Island at the very tip of the Americas. We voyage by way of Gene's lifelong fascination with all things nautical, his highly successful career as a maritime photojournalist, and his triumphant journey to the very summit of Cape Horn Island. Along the way we learn quite a bit of history about Cape Horn, cross the Pacific aboard the Chilean Navy's four-masted barquentine, Esmeralda, sail aboard an Alden schooner with a San Francisco Poet, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and meet flegendary cruising pioneer and sailing author, Hal Roth fighting to rescue his yacht, Whisper. And with each of these adventures, we experience the resolution, tenacity, and faith that made Gene Anthony's odyssey to Cape Horn Island a reality.

La vida de una familia chilena en el fin del mundo
Cabo de Hornos (Chile), 4 feb (EFE),(Imágenes: Sebastián Silva).- La brújula indica que se han superado los 55 grados latitud sur. El frío entumece. En el horizonte se levanta la isla de Hornos y a sus lomos se divisa una casita color coral. En ella, ajena a tanta hostilidad, transcurre la apacible vida de una familia que no extraña la civilización.
Esta remota porción de tierra, que domina el embate de los dos océanos más extensos del planeta, es actualmente una de las islas habitadas más apartadas de la sociedad, situada a cinco horas de navegación de la localidad chilena más cercana.

Version en français en bas
Cape Horn (Spanish: Cabo de Hornos) is a cape located at the southern tip of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, in its Chilean part. This point is generally considered to be the southernmost of South America.
Cape Horn is also the most southerly of the great capes, and marks the northern border of the Drake Passage. For many years, it has been a crucial crossing point for trade routes between Europe and Asia. They were used by ships to transport goods all around the globe, although the ocean waters around the cape present many dangers: strong and frequent storms with a very large sea, circumpolar Antarctic current and possible presence of icebergs rogue waves.
These dangers and the extreme difficulty of its crossing have given Cape Horn its legendary character, but also the reputation of being a marine cemetery. It is sometimes called the hard cap, the dreaded cap or the storm cape.
Le cap Horn (en espagnol : cabo de Hornos) est un cap situé à l’extrémité sud de l’archipel de la Terre de Feu, dans sa partie chilienne. Ce point est généralement considéré comme étant le plus austral de l’Amérique du Sud.
Le cap Horn est également le plus au sud des grands caps, et il marque la frontière nord du passage de Drake. Pendant de nombreuses années, il a été un point de passage crucial des routes commerciales entre l’Europe et l’Asie. Elles étaient empruntées par les voiliers pour transporter les marchandises tout autour du globe, et ce bien que les eaux océaniques autour du cap présentent de nombreux dangers : tempêtes fortes et fréquentes avec une mer très grosse, courant circumpolaire antarctique et présence possible d’icebergs voire des vagues scélérates.
Ces dangers et l’extrême difficulté de son franchissement ont donné au cap Horn son caractère légendaire, mais aussi la réputation d’être un cimetière marin. Il est parfois surnommé le « cap dur », le « cap redouté » ou le « cap des tempêtes ».
