Geography’s Map Highlights Argentina Changes and New South American Roles
The National Geographic Magazine article notes shifts in South American geography and politics after upheavals in Argentina. It details Ushuaia becoming no longer the world's southernmost town, a Chilean naval base near Navarino Island, and Puerto Williams growing nearby. It covers new measurements raising peak elevations and depths, plus Chilean and Argentine development efforts from citrus plantations to industry. The Shors recount travel with improvements in sheep, beef, tea processing, auto factories, and water projects, while a Buenos Aires official says Argentina plans to catch up forty years of lag after independence.
