__NOTOC__ The Hermite Islands ((スペイン語:Islas Hermite)) are the islands ''Hermite'', ''Herschel'', ''Deceit'' and ''Hornos'' as well as the islets ''Maxwell'', ''Jerdán'', ''Arrecife'', ''Chantieler'', ''Hall'', ''Deceit (islet)'', and ''Hasse'' at almost the southernmost end of South America.〔(7. Cabo de Hornos ), retrieved on 14 February 2013〕 The smallest and southernmost of the major islands is Hornos Island, the location of Cape Horn. The islands are located south of the Wollaston Islands and separated from them by the ''Franklin Channel''. The islets ''Terhalten'', ''Sesambre'', ''Evout'' and ''Barnevelt'' are located easterly and are not considered part of the Hermite islands. The southernmost islands of the American continent are the Diego Ramírez Islands, southwest of Cape Horn. South of all these islands is the Drake Passage. The southern tip of Deceit island extends southeastwards through a line of sharp-edged rocks known as ''Los dientes o garras de Deceit (Deceit teeth or claws)'' that end in a rough islet, Islote Deceit. The islands form part of the Cabo de Hornos National Park. ==History== They are named after the Dutch admiral Jacques l'Hermite (1582-1624). Hermite Islands were visited by Charles Darwin at the turn of 1832/1833. Argentina started 1978 the Operation Soberania to seize the islands.
