Cordillera Darwin Traverse. Eight students of the Universidad Austral of Punta Arenas accomplished in February, 1983 the first complete traverse of the Cordillera Darwin, the principal and by far the most complex mountain massif in the Chilean portion of Tierra del Fuego. The expedition started on the north coast, with a landing place at the Seno (fjord) del Almirantazgo and dragged its four sleds loaded with supplies for the next 20 days. The students climbed the main glacier, which they named after their university, where they located remains of an old airplane crash. They descended toward Puerto Williams, on Beagle Channel.
