The Strait of Magellan is located in the southern part of South America, separating the mainland of Chile from Tierra del Fuego, an archipelago off the southern coast of Argentina. It serves as a navigable sea route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Named after the explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who was the first to traverse it in 1520, the strait is approximately 570 kilometers (350 miles) long. It is known for its challenging navigational conditions due to strong winds and currents.
