Question: José Menéndez Menéndez (1846–1918) was a Spanish businessman based in Argentina and which sparsely populated region located at the southern end of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile?
Context: Patagonia (] ) is a sparsely populated region located at the southern end of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile.  The region comprises the southern section of the Andes mountains as well as the deserts, pampas and grasslands east of this southern portion of the Andes.  Patagonia has two coasts: western facing the Pacific Ocean and eastern facing the Atlantic Ocean. The Chilean Coastal Range (Spanish: "Cordillera de la Costa" ) is a mountain range that runs from north to south along the Pacific coast of South America parallel to the Andean Mountains, extending from Morro de Arica in the north to Taitao Peninsula, where it ends at the Chile Triple Junction, in the south.  The range has a strong influence on the climate of Chile since it produces a rain shadow to the east.  Because of this the vegetation growing on the seaward slopes is much more exuberant than in the interior.  Compared to the coastal lowlands and the Intermediate Depression it is sparsely populated with land use varying from protected areas to grazing and silviculture.  The range is present in all Chilean regions except for Coquimbo Region and Magallanes Region. The XI Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Region (Spanish: "Región de Aysén" ] "XI Región Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo "), often shortened to Aysén Region or Aisén, is one of Chile's 15 first order administrative divisions. Although the third largest in area, the region is Chile's most sparsely populated region with a population of 102,317 as of 2017.  The capital of the region is Coihaique, the region's former namesake. The Mid West region is one of the nine regions of Western Australia.  It is a sparsely populated region extending from the west coast of Western Australia, about 200 km north and south of its administrative centre of Geraldton and inland to 450 km east of Wiluna in the Gibson Desert. José Menéndez Menéndez (1846–1918) was a Spanish businessman based in Argentina and Chilean Patagonia.  He was the initiator of large companies that remain to this day. Pine Hills is a sparsely populated hilly region located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the United States.  It is a large, mostly undeveloped hilly and forested area lying south of Plymouth Beach and Chiltonville, north of Manomet, and east of Route 3, where the southern portion of the region can be accessed from Exit 3 (which is signed as of 1 October 2007), and the northern portion can be accessed from Exit 4.  The area rises from Plymouth Bay at Rocky Point, which is considered to be located in the foothills of the region, and runs southwest.  Route 3A winds through the heart of the Pine Hills.  The region consists of the Rocky Point neighborhood in the north and "The Pinehills", a new residential and commercial development in the extreme southern part of the area. Suomenselkä is a drainage divide in western Finland.  Roughly 500 km long and 30 - wide, it is marked by an ensemble of northeast-southwest oriented moraines parallel to the Bothnian coastline.  Rivers flowing west from Suomenselkä drain to the Gulf of Bothnia and the lakes in the east drain to the Gulf of Finland.  Historically, this very sparsely populated region separated Ostrobothnia from the southern and eastern lake regions of Finland.  The landscape is marked by moraines, eskers, swamps and forests and is difficult to cultivate or settle in.  Because it contains some of the few remaining patches of old-growth forest in southern Finland, it is one of the few remaining habitats for Finnish Forest Reindeer ("Rangifer tarandus fennica"). Costa Grande of Guerrero is a sociopolitical region located in the Mexican state of Guerrero, along the Pacific Coast.  It makes up 325 km of Guerrero’s approximately 500 km coastline, extending from the Michoacán border to the Acapulco area, wedged between the Sierra Madre del Sur and the Pacific Ocean.  Acapulco is often considered part of the Costa Grande; however, the government of the state classifies the area around the city as a separate region.  The Costa Grande roughly correlates to the Cihuatlán province of the Aztec Empire, which was conquered between 1497 and 1504.  Before, this much of the area belonged to a dominion under the control of the Cuitlatecs, but efforts by both the Purépecha Empire and Aztec Empire to expand into this area in the 15th century brought this to an end.  Before the colonial period, the area had always been sparsely populated with widely dispersed settlements.  The arrival of the Aztecs caused many to flee and the later arrival of the Spanish had the same effect.  For this reason, there are few archeological remains; however, recent work especially at La Soledad de Maciel has indicated that the cultures here are more important than previously thought.  Today, the area economically is heavily dependent on agriculture, livestock, fishing and forestry, with only Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa with significantly developed infrastructure for tourism.  The rest of the coast has been developed spottily, despite some government efforts to promote the area. Say is a department of the Tillabéri Region in Niger.  Its capital city is Say, and includes the towns of Guéladjo, Tamou, and Torodi.  It abuts the urban Region of Niamey, and lies across the Niger River to the southwest of the capital.  It extends to the Burkina Faso border over 60 km to the west, and the northernmost border with Benin in the south.  The Say area is today divided between the riverine valley in the east of the Department, and the more sparsely populated areas to the west, which are intercut with a series of eastward flowing tributaries.  The Niger river, a broad shallow channel at Niamey and at Say, passes through a series of gorges and cataracts, called the "W" bend for the shape the river takes, in the south of the Say Department.  To the west of these rapids lies what is now the W Regional Park, a sparsely populated area historically plagued by insect borne diseases of both humans and cattle.  Now a park and tourist attraction, its history as a "no mans land" has made it a refuge for remaining wild animals, as well as several undisturbed archeological sites.  From at least the 16th century CE, the Zarma people moved south into this area from the northern plateau around what is now Oullam.  The inhabitants at the time were related to the Gourma people, who form most of the population of the northwestern part of the Department today.  In the 18th and 19th century, the town of Say was founded by Fulani migrants from the Gao region of modern Mali, with others expanding from what is now northeast Burkina Faso.  Between 1810 and the arrival of European writer Heinrich Barth in 1854, Fulani Muslims led by Alfa Mohamed Diobo of Djenné had established the Emirate of Say.  The reputation for piety and learning of Mohamed Diobo and his followers helped turn Say from a small river village into a town of 30,000, famed across West Africa as a center of learning. Alentejo ("Vinho do Alentejo", Alentejo wines) is a Portuguese wine region located in the Alentejo region of the country.  The entire region is entitled to use the "Vinho Regional" designation Alentejano VR, while some areas are also classified at the higher "Denominação de Origem Controlada" (DOC) level under the designation Alentejo DOC.  VR is similar to the French "vin de pays" and DOC to the French AOP.  Located in the southern half of Portugal, the Alentejo region covers about a third of the country and is sparsely populated.  In 2005, South Oregon University scientist Gregory V. Jones identified Alentejo ("southern Portugal" in his words) as the world's most challenged wine region (out of 27 world wine regions) from a climate change perspective.  The region is noted for it vast cork production but has in recent years garnered attention for its table wine production.  Some producers of this region still do wine in great potteries as in Roman times.
