Design

The flag of the Tierra del Fuego Province is composed of two roughly triangular fields of orange and blue which are divided by stylized white albatross that stretches from the top hoist to the bottom fly. The blue field features five white, five-pointed stars tilted to the left, representing the Southern Cross constellation.

The orange color represents the eponymous fire of Tierra del Fuego (English: Land of Fire).[3] The shape of the orange field is a stylized representation of the outline of the Argentine section of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. The blue represents the sea that surrounds the island, and the sky. The stars represent the surrounding islands and territorial elements that make up the province.[1] The albatross is a bird native to the local fauna, and in the flag, it represents freedom.[3]

The areas represented by the flag of the Tierra del Fuego Province as declared by the government of Argentina

The flag of Tierra del Fuego was adopted to represent the entirety of the provincial region, including the Argentine portion of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, Isla de los Estados, and smaller islands in the region. The province also includes disputed territorial claims of the Argentine Antarctic, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas). South Georgia and the South Sandwich Island and the Falkland Island are administered by the United Kingdom which has also granted them each their own flag.
