🏝️ Snipe Islet

The Snipe Islet is a small rocky islet with sparse vegetation located at the northern entrance to Picton Pass in the Beagle Channel, between Navarino Island, Picton Island, and the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. It belongs administratively to the commune of Cabo de Hornos, Antártica Chilena Province, Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region. Possession of the islet was part of the Beagle conflict between Chile and Argentina and was the scene of a major incident between the two countries.
