About

Magdalena Island (Spanish: Isla Magdalena) is a small island in the Strait of Magellan, Chile. It is occupied year round by a small force of park rangers: six in summer, three in winter. "Newbie" or first-year rangers are not permitted to volunteer for harsh winter duty. They barrack in the single substantial building attached to the Magdalena Island light. The island is part of the End of the World Route, a scenic touristic route.
