Everything about The Hermite Islands totally explained
The
Hermite Islands belong to the
Chilean region of
Tierra del Fuego, as part of the Commune of
Cabo de Hornos in
Antártica Chilena Province of
Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Region, at the southernmost end of
South America. They are named after Jacques Termin/
Jacques L'Hermite .
Main and largest of the Hermite islands is the one called
Hermite, located northwesternmost in the group. Eastern of Hermite are
Herschel and
Deceit islands. Smaller and more southern of any of them is
Hornos island, worldwide known by being the location of
Cape Horn.
The southern tip of Deceit island extends southeastwards through an eye-catching line of sharp-edged rocks known as
Los dientes o garras de Deceit (Deceit teeth or claws) that end in a rough islet, the
Islote Deceit. Even if not so southern than Cape Horn, this string of rocks is perhaps more impressive than the cape itself, especially during gales.
