The southern end of the continent is at the island of Tierra del Fuego. Just south are a number of islets, including the legendary Cape Horn, with some of the roughest possible waters in the world around it. This cape is passable through a narrow straight that separates the island of Tierra del Fuego from the mainland. The pass was discovered by Magellan, in 1520, and then became to be known as the Straight of Magellan.
