Chile, officially the Republic of
Chile, is a South American country occupying a long, narrow strip of land
between the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It borders
Peru to the north, Bolivia to the northeast, Argentina to the east, and the
Drake Passage in the far south.
Chilean territory includes the
Pacific islands of Juan Fernández, Salas y Gómez, Desventuradas, and Easter
Island in Oceania.
The arid Atacama Desert in
northern Chile contains great mineral wealth, principally copper. The
relatively small central area dominates in terms of population and agricultural
resources, and is the cultural and political center from which Chile expanded
in the late 19th century when it incorporated its northern and southern
regions. Southern Chile is rich in forests and grazing lands, and features a
string of volcanoes and lakes. The southern coast is a labyrinth of fjords,
inlets, canals, twisting peninsulas, and islands.
