Something wrong?About this person
He gained notoriety for his exploration of the Maullín River, Roca Remolinos, and the channels of Aysén Region. Hudson was interested in investigating the possible existence of a sailing route through internal waters from the Chiloé Archipelago to the Straits of Magellan, but came to realize that the Isthmus of Ofqui made this impossible. His hydrographic works laid the groundwork for Hans Steffen's exploration of Aysén Region in late 19th century.
