Postcard showing a painting of the Strait of Magellan with mountains in the background and a ship on the water.

Comments and Context

In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “This is only a painting of the straits, however it does not exaggerate the real beauty of the place. While the lower parts of the mountains are covered with a kind of brush which stays green the year round, the top of the mountain has always a blanket of snow. There is always a strong wind here and the sun seldom shines but when it does break forth for a few minutes the beautiful scenery is beyond description. There you see the high mountains on either side with the great claciers (sic) sliding down their slides. On the top the snow is pure white but farther down it looks a little dirty or grey like snow looks after laying in the ground for a long time, alittle farther down it has a yellowish cast while toward the bottom it has a green color as it is then clear and solid ice before it breaks off into the water as huge icebergs. After breaking off into the water during the summer time these icebergs break up and melt very rapidly and pieces of ice of all sizes may be seen floating in the water of the straits where the large ships often procure a fresh supply of ice.”
