Agostini Fjord
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agostini Fjord, also known as Agostini Sound, is a fjord in Tierra del Fuego that separates two branches of the Cordillera Darwin, the Cordón Navarro in the southwest and the mountain range that includes Monte Buckland in the northeast. It is named after the Italian explorer Alberto María de Agostini. The latter range contains some of the most rugged peaks in southern Chile and the former is a mostly ice-covered range. It is located at 54°26′S 70°26′W / 54.433°S 70.433°W[1] and is connected to Magdalena Channel via Keats Sound.[2]
