The Magellan-Elcano expedition enabled existing navigational charts to be updated, thanks to the discovery of new lands during the voyage. Among them was the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego, in South America, situated among the Atlantic, Pacific, and Antarctic Oceans. This territory spans the south and east of the Strait of Magellan. It consists of one main island, known as Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, and a group of smaller islands.
