[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] There were different tribes and are said to have difference in height, some in different locations including the Ona (Selk'nam), Haush (Manek'enk), Yaghan (Yámana), and Alacaluf (Kawésqar). Tierra del Fuego ; Spanish for "Land of Fire") is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland, across the Strait of Magellan. The archipelago consists of the main island, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, with an area of 18,572 sq miles, and a group of many islands, including Cape Horn and Diego Ramírez Islands. Tierra del Fuego is divided between Chile and Argentina, with the latter controlling the eastern half of the main island and the former the western half plus the islands south of Beagle Channel. The southernmost extent of the archipelago is at about latitude 55 S. The earliest known human settlement in Tierra del Fuego dates to around 8,000 B.C. Europeans first explored the islands during Ferdinand Magellan's expedition of 1520; This region has a subpolar oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfc) with short, cool summers and long, wet, moderately mild winters: the precipitation averages 3,000 mm (118 in) a year in the far west, but precipitation decreases rapidly to the eastern side. Temperatures are steady throughout the year: in Ushuaia they hardly surpass 9 °C (48 °F) in summers and average 0 °C (32 °F) in winters. Snowfall can occur in summer [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7f/Ushuaia_Montage.png[/IMG] Ushuaia is the capital of Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur Province, Argentina. It is commonly regarded as the southernmost city in the world. Ushuaia was founded informally by British missionaries, following previous British surveys, long before Argentine nationals or government representatives arrived there on a permanent basis. Vegetation around the city thus does not resemble typical tundra but is instead heavily forested Ushuaia's industrial sector, led by the Grundig Renacer electronics factory, is among the largest in Patagonia. On December 29, 2009, the first same-sex couple to marry in Latin America were married in Ushuaia [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/f0/25/stfM7TH6_o.png[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
