The cover story for the inaugural issue by National Geographic writer Jack Miller is a dramatic tale illustrated with rare photos about an historic mountaineering expedition to the then unexplored Cordillera Sarmiento range off the coast of southern Chilean Patagonia. Other highlights in the first issue include an article about how climate change and melting glaciers threaten residents on the Baker River; an interview with nature philanthropist Douglas Tompkins; a feature story on the history of Torres del Paine National Park; and a travel article about whale watching off the Argentine Patagonia coast.
