La Tierra Del Fuego Archipelago Poem by Tor Magnor Solvang

At world's end, a land so far,
Where ocean meets a burning star.
Tierra del Fuego, islands grand,
Kissed by wind and sea and sand.

Magellan saw the fires bright,
From people's homes in darkest night.
Now winds blow through the grasses tall,
And mountains rise, embracing all.

Isla Grande, the biggest one,
Where plains begin and races run.
Then south the peaks, with ice they gleam,
A wild and rugged, ancient dream.

Ushuaia calls, the last big town,
Where ships set sail for ice renown.
Puerto Williams, small and neat,
Another southernmost retreat.

And Cape Horn stands, a rugged might,
Where three great oceans join in fight.
A place of wonder, wild and free,
At the very edge of you and me.
