Good night folks! How are you doing? Entry to #landscapephotography. Beagle Channel.

This photo was taken in 2016 when I visited Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the Americas. This landscape is the famous Beagle Channel. I like this picture not only because the landscape is amazing, but because of this old boat. How many in navigation history have tried to cross this straits and failled?

Beagle Channel

---

The channel separates the larger main island of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego from various smaller islands and is the last navigable strait before the open ocean (Drake Passage).

It was named after the ship HMS Beagle during its first hydrographic survey of the coasts of the southern part of South America which lasted from 1826 to 1830. During that expedition, under the overall command of Commander Phillip Parker King, the Beagle's captain Pringle Stokes committed suicide and was replaced by captain Robert FitzRoy. The ship continued the survey in the second voyage of the Beagle under the command of captain FitzRoy, who took Charles Darwin along as a self-funding supernumerary, giving him opportunities as an amateur naturalist. Darwin had his first sight of glaciers when they reached the channel on 29 January 1833, and wrote in his field notebook "It is scarcely possible to imagine anything more beautiful than the beryl-like blue of these glaciers, and especially as contrasted with the dead white of the upper expanse of snow."

Obs.: Some historical information was collected using wikipedia.
