Mitre Peninsula is the westernmost part of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, located in the southernmost part of the island. Is a mythical territory, extreme both from a geographic point of view and as a climate and accessibility. It is mainly mountainous, almost completely undeveloped and, in the lowlands, is covered by forests and peat bogs.
