Description: Journey to the wild edge of the world, where two oceans collide and treacherous waters have tested mariners for centuries. This sweeping account traces the storied passages of Cape Horn and the Strait of Magellan, from Ferdinand Magellan's audacious sixteenth-century voyage to the indigenous peoples who navigated these channels long before European sails appeared on the horizon. Blending maritime history, geography, and natural wonder, it explores legendary shipwrecks, the extraordinary wildlife of the southern seas, and the ongoing efforts to preserve one of the planet's most dramatic waterways. An essential read for anyone drawn to the romance and peril of the sea.
