Presents the southern third of Chile as a uniquely beautiful but largely unexplored frontierland. Scenes of contemporary Araucanians, the lake district, the port of Castro on Chiloe Island, Punta Arenas, Straits of Magellan, and Chilean Patagonia. The last half shows the raising of sheep on enormous estancias, giving much insight in to the life of the workers and management by British nationals. (Jane M. Loy, Latin American Research Review, vol.12 no.3, 1977) This film pictures the region at the southernmost part of South America. Here much rain falls, and high winds blow much of the time. Grand glacial scenery and the story of sheep raising on a large scale feature this description of Patagonia. A Julien Bryan production. (1950 NYU Film Library catalog)
