Empty and untamed, the massive southern portion of South America known as Patagonia is a land of endless steppe-like plains, jagged pinnacles and blue-white glaciers that stretches all the way to Cape Horn, the southernmost point in the Americas. The few human residents work on sheep estancicas (ranches); the true residents are wild guanacos and condors, Tierra del Fuego's sea lions, elephant seals and whales, and the tens of thousands of penguins that rook near Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. From the awesome sight of a glacier calving huge ice walls into a milky white lake, through the barren pampas to fairy-tale Bariloche, nestled in the Andes, Patagonia is stark and stunning, a place to come to feel insignificant in the face of Nature.
