Visiting an Yaghan tribe

We enter an isolated bay where a small Yaghan tribe has set up its temporary camp. Yaghan people had lived for millennia among the region’s countless islands and had specialized in catching and eating fish and other sea-food. Fragile canoes made of beechwood were the only vessels available to them for their long hunting trips through the icy and stormy channels that separated their islands from each other and from the mainland.
