175 years ago slavery was officially abolished throughout the British Empire. In Italy, Mt. Vesuvius erupted again. And the meal at a New York City diner called Delmonico's include soup, steak, coffee and half a pie - all for 12 cents.
And Charles Darwin was sailing around the southern tip of the Americas on the HMS Beagle.
One mountain peak in that region stands out in Darwin's notes the one we want you to name.
It's the tallest peak in the southern archipelago called Tierra del Fuego. It's an ice-capped, 8-thousand foot tall peak at the end of the Andes.
From its summit, you can see the Drake Passage and the Southern Ocean that extends to Antarctica.
Can you name this mountain?
