Magellanic subpolar forests
The Magellanic subpolar forests ((スペイン語:Bosque Subpolar Magallánico)) are a terrestrial ecoregion of southernmost South America, covering parts of southern Chile and Argentina,〔World Wildlife Fund; C.Michael Hogan. 2010. (''Magellanic subpolar forests''. Encyclopedia of Earth, National Council for Science and the Environment. Washington DC )〕 and are part of the Neotropic ecozone. It is a temperate broadleaf and mixed forests ecoregion, and contains the world's southernmost forests.
==Setting==
The Magellanic subpolar forests ecoregion lies to the west of the Andes Mountains, which run north-south for most of their length but curve eastward near the southern tip of South America, terminating at the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego. The Magellanic ecoregion was covered by glaciers during the last ice age, and the landscape is deeply dissected by fjords, with numerous islands, inlets, and channels, including the Strait of Magellan, which separates Tierra del Fuego from the South American mainland and is the route taken by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan from the South Atlantic to the South Pacific.
North of roughly 48° south latitude lies the Valdivian temperate rain forests ecoregion, which shares many affinities with the Magellanic ecoregion in plant and animal life. To the east lie the drier temperate grasslands and shrublands ecoregions of Patagonia, which are in the rain shadow of the Andean and Fuegian mountains.
