Tierra Del Fuego
Near the southern tip of Argentina is an area separated from the mainland by the Strait of Magellan called Tierra del Fuego, or the Land of Fire. It is quite arid, with monotonous temperatures, cool in the summer and cold in the winter. Despite this, rainfall is very differentiated, with the Chilean side getting only 20 inches, and the Argentine side getting about 180 inches.
Plantlife is also versatile, with the northern glaciated area having very thick, long grass, with many lakes and moraines covering the area. A moraine is a deposit of rocks and other ground resources left there by glaciers. Transportation is difficult, with poor roads and no rail system, although there are many air services connecting major settlements and nearby cities on the mainland, and there are also many ships connecting Tierra del Fuego and other regions, although those are mainly used for cargo, such as the many petroleum mines being used there.
Southern and Western areas are a continuation of the Andes mountains, along with some of the islands off the coast to the east are the tips of that same range. In these parts, the air is more arid, and vegetation limited to stunted trees and mosses, whereas the central area is mainly deciduous beech forests with much plantlife. Overall, Tierra del Fuego is quite a diverse and spectacular place, with enough environmental variety for a large country.
