Hornos Island

Hornos Island is a remote, rugged island located off the southern coast of Chile, near the southern tip of South America. Known for its natural beauty and harsh climate, it features diverse landscapes including rocky shores, fjords, and sparse vegetation. The island plays a role in regional biodiversity and is part of a protected area within the broader Patagonian region. Its remote location makes it significant for scientific research, particularly regarding climate and ecological studies, although it is rarely visited due to its challenging environment and limited human activity.
