Patagonia, Chile

ugged, snow-blanketed mountains stretching towards the sky, bright white glaciers calving into an ice-scattered sea and penguins plunging from. Admire the dramatic terrain of Tierra del Fuego – dubbed the Land of Fire by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1520, named for the fires he saw flickering along the coast – passing by elephant seals lounging on the beaches of Ainsworth Bay or tiny Magellanic penguins on Isla Magdalena. It’s home to some true once-in-a-lifetime experiences, whether sailing down so-called Glacier Alley, surrounded by ice on all sides, or venturing right to the edge of the world at Cape Horn, where there’s nothing but stormy seas from there to Antarctica.
