“Looking out to the Strait and all of the many canals and watercourses around me, I often wondered what it would be like to be out there, floating on that freezing water, moving up and down with the relentless motion, with only a bark canoe between me and the dark void below. The truth is, I couldn’t imagine it, but I did think about it, and whenever I did, it brought chills to my spine, along with an increasing respect, even admiration, for those peoples that once lived here in Tierra del Fuego, now gone, but still remembered by many. Looking out to sea from the shoreline, the distances seemed enormous, so that even the eighteen miles across the Strait in front of Río Chico looked like an impassable gulf, and bridging the gap in something as flimsy as a bark canoe, out of the question. But the native Fuegians managed all the time.”
From the sequel to In the Land of Fire (yet unpublished).
