Some additional information related to the picture:

Wulaia Bay, Tierra del Fuego - it is in these parts that Captain Robert Fitzroy, on the Second Voyage of the Beagle (1832) put 3 Yamana aborigines back on shore after they had been previously taken to England. They learned some English during their time in England, but eventually were quite happy to return to their former, very primitive way of life. The Yamana People living around here wore essentially no clothes and kept themselves warm by lighting fires - hence the name Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire).
