Patagonia

Patagonia is a region located at the southern end of South America and is comprised of deserts, pampas, and grasslands. The region is shared by present-day Argentina and Chile. Though it is sparsely populated today, researchers trace human habitation back to at least the tenth millennium BCE. The area was first fully explored by Europeans by Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition in 1520. Charles Darwin spent notable time investigating the area on two expeditions, one from 1826–1830 and one from 1832–1836.
