En los próximos días comienza la expedición "Paso olvidado", que podrán seguir "on line" en esta página.

Cruzando Tierra del Fuego en solitario, de costa a costa, reconoceré el estratégico pasadizo entre las montañas de Cordillera Darwin, documentado hace un siglo por el artista y explorador neoyorkino Rockwell Kent. Esta ruta habría conectado por largo tiempo a las naciones Selknam, Yagán y Kawésqar.

Rockwell Kent en su libro "Voyaying", documenta el descubrimiento de un grupo de cabañas indígenas cerca del "Paso de la Muerte" o "Paso Kent". Exploraremos el área en busca de indicios de ese sitio.

Una breve reseña sobre Rockwell Kent y su viaje en Tierra del Fuego:

Rockwell Kent es un personaje relevante y desconocido dentro de la historia de la exploración de Magallanes y de America. Con el propósito de retratar lo que el llamo "los tres vértices de América" (Alaska, Groenlandia y Tierra del Fuego/Cabo de Hornos) hace un siglo realizó un viaje de dos años por el archipiélago Fueguino, al sur del Estrecho de Magallanes, primero navegando en un pequeño velero que construyó a bordo del "Lonsdale", actualmente varado en Punta Arenas, y luego cruzando a pie la Cordillera Darwin, nada menos que con 23 lienzos, óleos, croqueras y cámaras fotográficas, con las que fue retratando los paisajes y habitantes magallanicos, entre ellos, algunos de los últimos representantes del pueblo selknam, que encontró en lago Fagnano.

Sus pinturas del Extremo austral de Chile se exhiben en la Rockwell Kent Gallery de la Universidad del Estado de Nueva York en Plattsburg, y en otros sitios tan remotos del mundo como el Museo Nacional de Armenia o el Hermitage de San Petersburgo, en sus muestras permanentes. Ellas son la primera "imagen país" que tuvieron los estadounidenses de Chile.

Rockwell Kent es actualmente reconocido como uno de los pintores más importantes de la primera mitad del siglo XX en Estados Unidos. En Chile es prácticamente desconocido. Una traduccion al castellano de su libro "Voyaging. Southward from the Strait of Magellan" será próximamente publicada en Chile, con el apoyo del Fondo del Libro y la Lectura del Fondart.

Agradecimientos totales a Paula Lopez Wood por el apoyo con los meteos, enlace con terceros, y en todo el proceso de estudio y planificación previos a esta expedición, y a Sebastian Uribe por su invaluable apoyo logístico, que ha sido esencial para dar inicio a esta travesía. Muchas gracias Paula y Sebastián!!!

Proyecto apoyado por la carrera de Ingeniería en Gestión de Expediciones y Ecoturismo de la Universidad San Sebastián, por la herramienta Expenews, y por el proyecto de documentación histórica y cartográfica "Uncharted".

Saludos,
