This remote island (manned by the military) can only be accessed by authorized tours from a somewhat nearby city. (The island is administratively part of the Argentinian province of Tierra del Fuego, and of the department and city of Ushuaia. It has been declared an "Ecological, Historic, and Tourist Provincial Reserve" with access limited to tours from Ushuaia. The only settlement is the Puerto Parry Naval Station on its northern coast. The naval station, created in 1978, is manned by a team of four marines on a 45-day rotation, in charge of monitoring environmental conservation, ship movement, and also to provide emergency assistance if needed) Clue #2
