Tierra del Fuego, Spanish for “Land of Fire”, is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland, across the Strait of Magellan. The archipelago consists of a main island, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, often called simply Tierra del Fuego or Isla Grande and a group of smaller islands. The main island is split between two countries: Argentina (39%) and Chile (61%). Source: Wikipedia
Germán Genskowski and his wife live on the scenic shores of Lago Fagnano, a location ripe for tourism and on the brink of major government-sponsored development. The Man at the End of the World explores the estancia way of life, born out of isolation and a passion for working the land, and how tourism could be the thing that saves it.
