Puerto Deseado, Coastal port in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina
The city extends along the northern shore of the Deseado River estuary, featuring a cold semi-desert climate with mild summers and cold winters.
Ferdinand Magellan's expedition discovered this location in 1520, leading to subsequent explorations by Spanish and English navigators throughout the 16th century.
The Provincial Museum Mario Brozoski exhibits maritime artifacts, including remains from the Swift Sloop recovered from local waters in 1985.
The port processes 90 percent of regional exports through its facilities, maintaining strong connections to fishing industries and maritime transportation networks.
The waters around Puerto Deseado contain permanent colonies of Commerson's dolphins, along with five different species of cormorants nesting on nearby islands.
