IV · THE NAME
A navigator's mountain
At the southern tip of the Americas, above the Magdalena Channel in Tierra del Fuego, rises Monte Sarmiento. Around 1580 the Spanish navigator Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa sighted it while charting the Strait of Magellan and took it for a volcano.
A mountain found by a compass, between two oceans. Our compass points the same way: to origin, wherever it is.
“The most sublime spectacle in Tierra del Fuego.”
