Field notes
Subantarctic (Tierra del Fuego) — among the most extreme high-latitude climates on the populated globe (54°S). Austral summer (December–February, 9–10°C average) brings 17-hour daylight and rare warm spells. Austral winter (June–August, 1–2°C average) brings 7-hour daylight and frequent snow. Wind is structural year-round — the Beagle Channel funnels Antarctic air. Summer is the only realistic working window.
