  15

Patagonia is the southernmost region of the American continent. Its name comes from the Spanish 'patagón' ('legs or big feet'), as they called the Indians they found when they landed. In fact, aboriginals covered their feet with several layers of animal skin to protect them from snow, and so they seemed very large.
