--- Quote from: Slowhatch on March 05, 2007, 09:55:14 PM ---A few points about Isla Redonda:
* This page notes that the island is a nature preserve and tourism is limited
--- Quote ---It is a place almost untouched by human hand. There are two trails, each about 20 minutes in duration that you can walk at your own pace. Remember, protecting the environment is the top priority. It is best if our presence is unnoted and we leave nothing but footprints and take only photos.

Maybe there are penalties if a team leaves the trail. It makes you suspect that the ferry landing (see below) is an "amazing" sign just there for the racers. Strange that they would take the longer route out of Lapataia rather than the short trip out of Puerto Guarani (Bahia Ensenada).
* This page describes a weather station with a 12-m tower on the island.
* This page has pictures of polar post offices, including Isla Redonda (it's not the "southernmost" p.o. in the world, but...OK ;D). The Guidos photo is probably just a different viewpoint (I don't recognize that thing in the background).

Y'all are too fast for me! I was working on a minor masterpiece about Isla Redonda when Slowhatch posted what I was working on and now I find you and I are following each other around! :lol: :rotf: :lol:
Well here are a few quick other pics-- Some of these may be repeats-- :-\
From Bahía Ensenada, near the southeastern edge of the park, there are boat excursions to Isla Redonda (US$14 pp) from 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m. (For ordinary folks who don't have TAR zodiacs)
--- Quote ---Isla Redonda
Isla Redonda means the Round Island. This small island is located in the heart of the Beagle Channel, in front of the Tierra del Fuego National Park. After arriving at Bahia Ensenada, you board a small boat that takes us to the island. Here you find a small base for the Prefectura acional (Coast Guard), and the Worlds End Post Office! The island is surrounded by deep walls that go to 27 meters (88 feet.) There is a dense kelp forest with the typical channel fauna and sometimes sealions will come and join you, curious about what you are doing.

(anybody see those walls?)
And would this site help any of you GE guys? I really think this is where they went on that zodiac but you know me ;D --I'd like a pretty map of there to here!
