It occurs on a small area on the territory of South America, on the rocky coast of Argentina and Chile. It is a flightless bird of a large size. The weight of the Fuegian steamer duck can reach 7 kg, with a body length of 80 cm and a wingspan of 110 cm. The size of its wings does not allow the massive duck’s body to fly. Males are visibly bigger than females. Considering the uniqueness and a small area of occurrence of the duck, I have created this gallery although I managed to take only two pictures of this bird. The photos were taken from a boat, near Ushuaia. The birds were resting on the rocky coast several dozen meters from the boat.
