Juan Fernandez

Juan Fernandez is a mountainous island 3000 ft. high, off the Chilian coast, 420 miles west of Valparaiso. It was the lonely residence of Alexander Selkirk (1704-1709). The island was used as a penal settlement from 1819 to 1835, and was inhabited by a few seal and sea-lion hunters until the beginning of 20th century.
