Tierra del Fuego is full of Canadian Beavers. Seriously. Apparently they were introduced here a while ago and have really been thriving. We were told by some locals as we headed out on our hike that we would definitely see the 'destruction' they have caused in the Fuegan mountains.
So we knew we might see some beaver dams. But we had no idea that we would find them way above the treeline surrounded by rugged snowy mountains. And that some of their dams would be over 10 feet high and that others would be over 100 feet long.
It seems that Canadian beavers are doing even better at the tip of the world than they are at home!
