A town on Tierra del Fuego, at the southern tip of Argentina. Facing the Beagle Channel, it is known as the southernmost city in the world (54°49' south latitude). The metropolitan population is 45,064 (2001). It is the center of sheep farming, and has sawmills and fish canneries, and is also an important port. Due to the Falklands War in 1982 and the territorial dispute with Chile over three islands in the Beagle Channel, its role as a military base was emphasized.
