The rain season, the low temperatures and the cold wind, makes this part of the world one of the hardest and severe places to live. Due to its conditions, it is often called the "green desert", name given by the explorer Charles Darwin. Punta Arenas, the capital of the region, with over 120.000 inhabitants, has the only airport, built along side the Magellan Strait, across the island of "Tierra del Fuego".
