This region is an outstanding area for research, with significant interest at the international level. It provides an updated overview of the scientific work in all related fields with a strong palaeoclimatic approach. Patagonia has also been a sort of a "palaeoclimatic bridge" between the Antartic Peninsula and the more northerly landmasses, since the final opening of the Drake Passage in the Middle Miocene.
