Tierra del Fuego: Harsh lives and a global history 

Tierra del Fuego, or the Land of Fire, is on the southern tip of South America. The landscape with its fjords, glaciers and even rainforests is beautiful, but it can also be a pretty harsh place for the people living there. Europeans first set foot there 500 years ago when they were looking for a passage connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans around Cape Horn. It became the main trading route between the Indies and Europe for centuries. But most of the indigenous Yagán did not survive their encounter with the white intruders. By the early 20th century, they had almost been wiped out. Michael Marek traveled to Tierra del Fuego to find out about the past and present of this unique part of the world.
