South America's southernmost archipelago, known as the Tierra del Fuego, was named by the explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1520. The name, which translates to "Land of Fire," was inspired by the sight of fires lit by the indigenous people on the islands. Magellan and his crew were captivated by the numerous smoke plumes they observed from their ships.
