The Pearl Button

Yamana people who had resided in the Cape Horn area for 10,000 years have been “rounding the horn” solo, fully human-propelled as teenagers as young as 12.y.o. in their primitive self-made paddle boats, as part of their traditional canoe-faring hunter-gatherers lifestyle. By the middle of the 20th century Chilean government restricted their small boat journeys due to being "too dangerous".

I have seen so many of them who live lives that eclipse the difficulty level of the most pioneering expeditions. They just don’t know there is any reason to talk about it. They definitely taught me something.
