The Chilean Tierra del Fuego Province (in Spanish Provincia de Tierra del Fuego) is located on the Chilean part of the main island of Tierra del Fuego. It is part of the Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Region. There is also an Argentine province of the same name, Tierra del Fuego Province, Argentina. Chilean Tierra del Fuego has two major cities, Porvenir, capital of the province, and Cerro Sombrero, and a number of smaller towns. A key geographical feature is Bahia Inutil ("Useless Bay"), so named by British geographers in the late 19th century because the bay is unable be used as a port. Chilean Tierra del Fuego is home to a number of small lakes including Lago Blanco and Lago Deseado.
