The southernmost headland of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, Cape Horn, is a breathtaking sight known for its danger. Notorious as a sailor’s graveyard, with icebergs, strong currents, and harsh winds, some 800 shipwrecks lie in the surrounding waters. While yacht race participants and solo sailors may find themselves negotiating the rough waters, organised expeditions (with the blessing of fair weather) round the Cape and stop off on Horn Island, for an experience that has been described as pure paradise. This is also a stopping point for some cruises on their way to Antarctica.
