Not that weird. The country pretty much becomes an archipelago + ice field south of Coyhaique.

My comment from a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40857263):
> In the 2000s the Chilean state railway company was involved in a huge corruption scandal as well as bad administrative practices. It’s been slowly recovering, but rail services in Chile still leave a lot to be desired.
Weirdly enough, there aren't even roads connecting the southernmost part of Chile to the north without taking a detour through Argentina, though I guess nature might appreciate the largely untouched conservation zone that separates Patagonia from the north.
