The Strait of Magellan is a narrow waterway that separates Tiera Del Fuego in Argentina from the mainland of the continent of South America. [[Ferdinand Magellan]]'s expedition that circumnavigated the globe discovered this passageway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in 1520. This Strait is important because it provides safe passage through the dangerous and tricky waters surrounding the tip of South America.
