CAPE HORN, HORNOS ISLAND, CHILE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Hornos Island is named after the Dutch city of Hoorn, which is the birthplace of Willem Corneliszoon Schouten, the Dutch navigator who first rounded Cape Horn in 1616. This panorama was shot with a telephoto lens as Chilean coastal restrictions do not allow incursions within a three mile limit. Many thanks to our stalwart captain for giving me the closest possible view of this historic landmark. In the days of the \u201cold-time\u201d sailor men, you weren\u2019t considered a real sailor until you had \u201crounded the Horn,\u201d notorious for its treacherous waters.<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
