On our precious globe, oceans spill their majestic waters across 70% of the Earth's surface. Over the continents, land untainted by the presence of man is becoming ever more elusive and scarce. One area that almost retains its pristine, unspoiled look is Patagonia in South America. This sparsely populated region is located at the southern end of South America and displays itself across the vast lands of Argentina and Chile. As a whole it comprises of the southern section of the Andes mountains as well as the deserts, pampas and grasslands east of this. Patagonia has two coasts: to the west it faces the Pacific Ocean and to the east the Atlantic Ocean. The Colorado and Barrancas rivers, which run from the Andes to the Atlantic, are commonly considered the northern limit of Argentine Patagonia. For Chilean Patagonia it is at Reloncaví Estuary. The archipelago of Tierra del Fuego marks its abrupt southern frontier and the famed end of the world. The name Patagonia comes from the word patagón, which was used by the Spanish explorer Magellan in 1520 to describe the native people that his expedition thought to be giants. He called them Patagons and, we think now, they were from the Tehuelche people, who tended to be taller than Europeans of the time. Patagonia encompasses some one million square kilometers and is home to a rich and diverse landscape of plants, fauna and wildlife. It is a spectacular wilderness full of life and full of history. Early explorers and travellers faced a sometimes difficult and uncomfortable journey to reach there. The words and pictures they brought back bear testament to a remarkable land and remarkable people. These are their stories.

Across Patagonia Florence Dixie With illustrations from sketches by Julius Beerbohm engraved by Whymper and Pearson COMPLETE - FULLY ILLUSTRATED Lady Florence Caroline Dixie (nee Douglas; 25 May 1855 - 7 November 1905), was a Scottish traveller, war correspondent, writer and feminist. Her account of travelling Across Patagonia, her children's books The Young Castaways and Aniwee, or, The Warrior Queen, and her feminist utopia Gloriana, or the Revolution of 1900 all deal with feminist themes related to girls, women, and their positions in society. In December 1878, two months after the birth of their second son, Edward, Dixie and her husband left their aristocratic life and children behind them in England and traveled to Patagonia. She was the only female in her traveling party. She set out accompanied by her brothers, Lord Queensberry and Lord James Douglas, her husband Sir Alexander Beaumont Churchill Dixie, and Julius Beerbohm. Beerbohm, a family friend, was hired as the group's guide because of his previous experience in Patagonia. Dixie debated going to elsewhere, but choose Patagonia because few European men, and no European women, had ever set foot there.] (Although reasonably accurate in terms of travelers' accounts, this claim ignores Britain's active economic involvement in the region.)"

Across Patagonia is a travel narrative written by Lady Florence Dixie, Scottish writer and feminist. She left her aristocratic life and her children behind in England, and set out to travel, accompanied by her two brothers, her husband, and a family friend who served as a guide. Dixie debated going elsewhere, but chose Patagonia because few Europeans had ever set foot there. Dixie paints a picture of the landscape using techniques reminiscent of the Romantic tradition of William Wordsworth and others, using emotion and physical sensation to connect to the natural world. While she describes the land as "uninviting and feared territory," Dixie's actions demonstrate that survival in a wild land requires both strength and agency. During her travels in Patagonia, Dixie is "active, hardy, and resilient", rejecting Victorian gender constructs that depicted women as weak and in need of protection.

En 1879 un grupo de aristócratas británicos llegó a la lejana colonia de Punta Arenas para realizar un recorrido inédito por el interior de una tierra desconocida para los turistas y el público general. Este libro abarca en profundidad la historia de quien lideró esta aventura: la excéntrica y multifacética viajera victoriana Lady Florence Dixie (1855-1905), primera mujer en realizar una travesía por la Patagonia y en escribir un testimonio literario sobre ello. Considerada como la primera turista de esta región, Dixie dio a conocer lugares que hoy constituyen grandes hitos turísticos del paisaje patagónico chileno, tales como las célebres Torres del Paine, cumbres que esta británica bautizó como “Agujas de Cleopatra”. Tras la exitosa publicación de Across Patagonia (1880), Florence se convirtió en una famosa y polémica trotamundos, escritora, periodista y activista política que luchó por causas peculiares en ese entonces, como la defensa del mundo animal y del medio ambiente, y la total equidad entre el hombre y la mujer. A través de la comparación de su experiencia con la de otros viajeros victorianos, esta obra busca reconstruir, en un estilo dinámico y atractivo, la historia de los primeros en recorrer y apreciar, desde una perspectiva recreativa, un territorio caracterizado por siglos como remoto, seductor y misterioso.

Weary of her life in English society, during 1878-1879 Dixie travelled with her husband, two of her brothers and Julius Beerbohm in Patagonia in South America. There, she hunted big game and ate it with gusto. On one occasion, while riding on the prairie, her party was overtaken by a huge prairie fire, and her horse bolted with her. On her return to England, Dixie wrote her book Across Patagonia, which discussed Dixie's observations of the country and its inhabitants. Lady Dixie also shared her observations of Patagonia with Charles Darwin. Lady Dixie sent Darwin a copy of Across Patagonia; Darwin's copy of this book is part of the Library of Charles Darwin located in the Rare Books Room of Cambridge University Library. A hotel at Puerto Natales in the Chilean part of Patagonia is named the Hotel Lady Florence Dixie in her honour.
