Puerto Williams

About This Trend

Puerto Williams is a town on Navarino Island in the Beagle Channel in Chile’s far south, known as a starting point for trips around Cape Horn and a gateway to trails around the jagged peaks of the nearby Dientes de Navarino.

The town is trending due to a 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Chile, triggering a tsunami warning and prompting evacuations in the area, with officials monitoring the possibility of waves reaching as far north along the Chilean coast as Puerto Williams.
