關於

The Diego Ramírez Islands and Drake Passage National Park (formerly the Islas Diego Ramírez-Drake Passage Marine Park) is a national park of Chile established in 2018 as a marine park and redesignated as a national park in 2025. It lies south of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, surrounding the Diego Ramírez Islands. Administratively, it belongs to Antártica Chilena Province in the Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region.

The park spans 14,439,060 ha and aims to conserve subantarctic oceanic ecosystems, pelagic bird habitat (including the wandering albatross Diomedea exulans and southern fulmar Fulmarus glacialoides), marine mammals, and distinctive geomorphological features such as shallow seamounts associated with the circulation of the Southern Ocean. It complements the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve.
