Back from the Swedish Antarctic Expedition with questions he could not answer, the young botanist Skottsberg returned to the far south of South America with fellow scientists. His narrative follows them through the Falkland Islands, the channels of Tierra del Fuego and the Patagonian steppe and Andes, among sheep farmers, settlers and estancia owners who greet travellers with maté.
