Grégoire Korganow, a great photographer working for the national and international press, travelled for almost a year through one of the world’s oldest lands, 900,000 square kilometres of boundless landscapes, swept by winds of rare violence,surrounded by 500 kilometres of ice, almost a continent, straddling Chile and southern Argentina.Following in the footsteps of travel writers and great explorers, he went to meet the last inhabitants of these wilderness areas to share the lives of the last Yamanas Indians, gold seekers, hermits, gauchos, adventurers of all kinds, a heterogeneous population descended from the first Indian tribes and immigrants who came in the middle of the 19th century to search on these endless spaces the eldorado or exile. He tells us in the form of a travel diary of this forgotten land at the end of the world, a land with grandiose landscapes and eternal beauty, sheltering the wildest stories that still resonate in the days of great storm.
