	Patagonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Patagonia is the portion of South America in Argentina and Chile made up of the Andes mountains to the west and south, and plateaux and low plains to the east.
		Patagonia is for the most part a region of vast steppe-like plains, rising in a succession of abrupt terraces about 100 meters (330 feet) at a time, and covered with an enormous bed of shingle almost bare of vegetation
		In so far as its main characteristics are concerned, Patagonia seems to be a portion of the Antarctic continent, the permanence of which dates from very recent times, as is evidenced by the apparent recent emergence of the islets around Chiloé, and by the general character of the pampean formation.
