Cape Horn is the southernmost point of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago in southern Chile. It’s where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet, marking the northern edge of the Drake Passage. Known for its dangerous waters, strong winds, and big waves, it was a key stop for sailing ships on the old clipper route. However, its importance for shipping dropped after the Panama Canal opened. Today, navigating past it is still a tough challenge for yachters. It’s part of the Cabo de Hornos National Park
