Alberto De Agostini National Park

Alberto de Agostini National Park is a park located in the Chilean part of Tierra del Fuego. It covers 14,600 km2 (5,637 sq mi) and includes the Cordillera Darwin mountain range. The park is named after Alberto Maria De Agostini, who was an Italian missionary and explorer. Several tidewater glaciers and steep fjords form part of this park. The park also comprises the islands Gordon, Cook, Londonderry and part of the Hoste Island (excluding the Hardy Peninsula and other portions).

The area was visited by Charles Darwin. Picturesque areas such as Agostini Fjord were discovered only in the past century. The park, along with Cabo De Hornos National Park, was designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2005, which is called Cabo de Hornos.

The park features a highly irregular coastline, which is deeply indent by fjords. The centerpiece of the park is the Cordillera Darwin, whose slopes drop precipitously to the sea. The Darwin range is dominated by Monte Darwin and Monte Sarmiento. The valleys not filled by the sea are covered by glaciers, which also occupy small high plateaus.
