States Island

States Island is an Argentine island located in the south of the country, in the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands. It is located in the Beagle Channel, between the Chilean and Argentine coasts, and is the largest island in the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego.

The island has an area of 2,630 km², which is divided between the Argentine and Chilean parts. The Argentine part of the island has a population of about 2,000 people, mainly concentrated in the cities of Ushuaia and Río Grande. The island is mainly mountainous and rugged, with the highest peak reaching 1,200 meters.

The island was discovered by Ferdinand Magellan in 1520 and it was named after the States of the Netherlands. In 1881, the island was divided between Chile and Argentina, with the northern part belonging to Chile and the southern part to Argentina.

In history, the island has been the scene of numerous conflicts between the two countries, especially during the Beagle conflict in 1978. This dispute was resolved in 1984, when the two countries signed a treaty that established the maritime border between them.

The island is a popular tourist destination, due to its natural beauty and its rich history. It is also home to a number of unique species of flora and fauna, such as the southern beech tree and the Magellanic penguin.

In addition, the island is home to a number of national parks, such as the Tierra del Fuego National Park and the Lapataia National Park, which are both located in the Argentine part of the island.
