The waterway at the southern tip of South America is called the Strait of Magellan. It is named after the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who was the first to navigate through it in the early 16th century. The strait serves as a natural passageway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, providing a crucial route for maritime navigation.
