Biotopes of the intertidal zone in Clarence Island (south of the Strait of Magellan)
The characteristics of the Strait of Magellan promote the formation of unique environments, with diverse habitats and marine organisms. This fragmentation of the landscape generates diverse little-explored ecological associations, especially in the zone of sub-Antarctic islands of the Tierra del Fue...

The characteristics of the Strait of Magellan promote the formation of unique environments, with diverse habitats and marine organisms.
