Fresh water is a very scarce asset and it identifies the Cabo de Hornos reserve as a natural laboratory suitable for many kinds of research projects.
Chemists Introduce New Method of Desalination That Gives 40 Nanolitres of Fresh Water Per Minute
At the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Marburg in Germany, chemists have introduced a new method for the desalination of seawater that consumes less energy and is dramatically simpler than conventional techniques.

‘Puerto Williams town in southern Chile is like something out of the movie as the air and water have a purity and an ecosystem that existed before the Industrial Revolution.’
"Our results confirm that these waters are clean, the cleanest on this planet," said University of North Texas scientist Guido Verbeck. "The instruments we used to study the samples can detect two parts of chemicals per every million parts of water, and here they detected nothing," he said. Puerto Williams is located at 3,551 km south of Santiago at the country's extreme southern tip. According to Ricardo Rozzi, director of the Antarctic Biocultural Conservation Program, the area "is like something out of the movie 'Jurassic Park'," because "the air and water have a purity and an ecosystem that existed before the Industrial Revolution".
The study indicates that extremely pure water has also been found in Torres del Paine National Park, also in Chile's Magallanes region, as well as in southeastern China, western Australia and Upstate New York.
