Further south by air

We are flying home at 28,000 feet or 8,500 meters, 850 kms per hour and our flight path is to go south to 70 degrees which is further than we went by boat. But first we fly over the Strait of Magellan which is the route sailed by the square riggers until the dreaded Drake Passage was discovered. Before that it was believed that South America was connected to the mythical southern continent. You can just see the narrow passage between the two open stretches of water.
