Cape Horn in Chile is a notable headland located at the southernmost tip of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. It marks the northern boundary of the Drake Passage and is renowned for its treacherous maritime conditions, including strong winds, large waves, and icebergs. Historically, it was a major milestone for sailors navigating the globe, particularly before the construction of the Panama Canal.
