Cape Horn
Cape Horn is the southernmost headland of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago of southern Chile, and is located on the small Hornos Island. Although not the most southerly point of South America, Cape Horn marks both the northern boundary of the Drake Passage and where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet.
