Punta Arenas is the southernmost city or
the world. 1t is at the bottom of the South
American continent, 1,200 miles nearer the
south pole than Cape Town, at the lower
end OF Africa. 1t is 1000 miles south OF
New York and its latitude is that of Labra-

those of Washington city and Just now, at
its coldest, everything is covered with
green.
Situated on the northern coast OF the
Strait of Magellan midway between the At
