Tierra del Fuego (officially Provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur) is a province of Argentina. It is entirely separated from mainland Argentina by the Strait of Magellan. It includes:
- The eastern part of the Isla Grande of Tierra del Fuego archipelago and the Isla de los Estados.
- Argentina's claims to the Falkland Islands and to South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
- Argentina's claims to Antarctica.
It is the smallest province of Argentina if you only count the areas under control by the government. But officially it is the largest one because it has a lot of land in antarctica.
