Wow, you’re right. There really is just nothing in the south. Argentina has all usable land and Chili really did just claim the rest of it.
Some of it would be absolutely amazing to visit, but impossible to get to (For the better to be honest, let’s have some untouched places in the world)
The desert side is also quite empty, but nowhere near as much as the south
That golf course is pretty interesting, although 20km away from the nearest town is not so bad
It looks like such a huge score for them, because coastline is generally more valuable than inland. I don’t know if that’s the case here though
The cold Humboldt Current runs along pretty much all of Chile. It contributes to a productive fishery, but is also why a lot of the land is desert. You win some, you lose some, I guess.

I hear they have pingwings there.
I believe they’re called penglings.
Pangwangs
I wonder if you could study them with a robot.
I heard Long Long man was born here.

Fun fact: Chile has a shorter coastline than Norway
What’s even more interesting is that Chile is a long ass island in Europe. TIL, definitely.
E: The more I look at the “map” the more interesting it gets…
You can make other cool comparisons like this by going this here: thetruesize.com
Eh. They could have used a different projection. It’s kinda silly to grab, say, Algeria, move it around, and see it grow and shrink.
that’s literally the point of the website, to show how countries change as you move them about the mercator projection (which is the standard projection we interact with)
Ok, fair point.
But who is “we”?
Pretty much everybody on this planet
Nope. Not true.
Okay thanks for the input
I refused to believe this map so I checked, and lo and behold, it’s true.
That’s fascinating.
Just give Bolivia a little beach! You don’t need to be so long
Look at em. Just hogging the whole southwest coast of South America, like they were a resort developer.
Voodoo Chile.
