South end of the World

It is assumed that the man has moved from Africa to Asia, then by the Bering Strait has arrived in America, to finish his journey in the extreme land south of the American continent, a remote place, the last to be colonized by the human being.This last piece of land, meeting point between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, is constantly plagued by weather conditions particularly hard and uncomfortable.
A sublime and hostile land, where rain, wind, hail, tides, snow, sun, and fog rhythm the passing of the day and shape the landscape.
A place that makes difficult any travelling by land and sea and exposes the wreckage of boats of all ages as the only trace of human passage.
