Why Does Argentina Own Half of The Southern Tip of South America?

This Outer Side video explores a geographical question many people notice on a map but rarely stop to ask: if Chile stretches all the way down the western edge of South America, why does Argentina own such a large portion of the South American continent’s southern tip? Why is Tierra del Fuego split between the two countries? At the center of this story is Tierra del Fuego, "Land of Fire" a remote and windswept archipelago at the bottom of South America. Looking at a map, it might seem natural for Chile to control the entire region, especially since it runs like a thin spine along the Pacific coast. Yet Argentina holds the entire eastern half of the main island. The answer starts back centuries ago long before Argentina or Chile existed. #Geography #History #Argentina #Chile #TierraDelFuego #SouthAmerica #OuterSide ❤️ Thanks for watching!
