Robinson Crusoe Island (Archipelago Juan Fernandez) by angelsolcito

Robinson Crusoe island is also known as Juan Fernandez island, located in the archipelago of the same name, just over 400 miles (570 km) off the coast of Chile, right in front of the port of Valparaiso.
This volcanic island of ragged and mountainous topography was discovered by accident in 1575 by Portuguese sailor Juan Fernandez and remained pretty much unknown apart from becoming a favorite refuge for pirates such as Edward Davis, John Eaton and Bartholomew Sharp among others.
ts everlasting fame, however, was originated over one century later, when the Scotsman sailor Alexander Selkirk was rescued in 1708, after spending four years and four month stranded in the island.
His experience was the raw material that inspired Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) to write world famous Robinson Crusoe, first published in April 1719.

My Name is Brian Dampier, My Ancestor is William Dampier. William Dampier was the captain of 1 of the 2 ships which Alexander Selkirk was on as a navigator when he decided to stay behind on this island, It was also William Dampier who returned 4 years and 4 months later and found Mr. Selkirk alive and well. This of course was chronicled in William Dampier's book "A new voyage around the world" It is this book where Defoe drew the inspiration for the story of Robinson Crusoe. William Dampier was famous for this work and his contributions to early science including the addition of over 1,000 words to the English Dictionary including Avocado, subspecies, BBQ, and more. Dampier was the guest of many of the member of the British Government at the time. How you miss this very easy to verify information is mind boggling at best.

Gran Video!!! Acompañado de una opera Vangelis- Conquest of paradise . Grande Robinson Crusoe hermosa isla de Chile .

[@CLAUDIOASPEVONFACH]

…es lo mejor que he visto en imágenes y fotografías de una muestra maravillosa de nuestro territorio. …claramente lo que apreciamos del video es una producción de un gran extranjero, que supo captar lo magnifico que tenemos, que muchas veces no cuidamos como tampoco apreciamos. …además de la cantidad de habitantes de este país, que no son pocos, y ya muchos tienen acceso a Internet, lo que me sorprende es el poco interés de los chilenos por apreciar la naturaleza que les rodea. …solo 17.136 han visto esta maravilla, gracias por el magnífico trabajo.

The island was described as "The most romantic spot of the earth" in "Two years before the mast"(published in 1840) by Richard Henry Dana (Dana Point, California was named after him). He already had a knowledge of the island by reading Robinson Crusoe prior to his visit. It's not a bad idea to get lost in the island like that. If Robinson Crusoe landed on the wrong island, the story wouldn't have been the best seller.

Are there Easter Island heads on Robinson Crusoe Island? I never heard of this yet we see these Easter Island heads in a video about Robinson Crusoe Island.

[@brianmann01]

William Dampier is the pirate who mentioned Selkirk in his book, Danile Dafoe would build the story from that.

[@arredondosuazo2521]

hermoso ...hermosooo

[@yuriboica3446]

Bonito Lugar espero algún día estar en ese lugar con la familia y volver sano a salvo y feliz

[@olintodepretto]

That's true, 419 miles would have been a long, dangerous trip in a raft or canoe. Alexander Selkirk was afraid of falling into the hands of the Spanish so Santiago, Chile would have been off limits for him. In fact, two Spanish ships stopped at his island, and a landing party fired at him as he ran back into the jungle. Selkirk was right about the condition of the pirate ship, he was on. It wound up sinking, and the survivors of the sinking were taken into captivity by the Spanish.

Lindo!!

[@aslakyboy95]

what is the name of that first soundtrack?? great vdeo!

[@perezgarridomusic]

Excuse me, Juan Fernandez was a Spanish sailor, not a Portuguese. He was born in Cartagena (Spain)

[@csvalle1]

recuerdo una historia de mi abuelo, de un navio poderoso aleman de la primera guerra mundial,persegido por 3 navios ingleses...que llego a juan fernandez,...y los isleños como neutrales y garantes a esa guerra,...acuñaron fuegos artificiales y en la playa que se suponian eran cañones y ese navio se dinamito,...en realidad los tripulantes alemanes daban un concierto de beethoben en la playa cuando el navio se hundia,.... salieron todos con pasaporte chileno,..bueno algunos se quedaron...saludos

Perfect

[@olintodepretto]

True. Easter Island is about 1,800 miles further out. I didn't realize that Selkirk was 419 mi from Chile. You'd think he would make a raft. He must have been worried about being hung as a pirate.

[@Bernar2able]

El archipiélago fue descubierto por el marino español Juan Fernández, probablemente entre 1563 y 1574. Oficialmente se da como fecha de su descubrimiento el 22 de noviembre de 1574. Una de las principales razones, además de las clásicas de exploración de la época, por la que Juan Fernández llegó hasta ese lugar, es porque buscaba una forma de evitar la Corriente de Humboldt. Su plan era alejarse de la costa, que es por donde pensaba (acertadamente) que la corriente era más fuerte, e ir al sur

@Scorpiusgrl Hello Scorpiusgirl, if you wish to get away from it all, definitely cvhoose somewhere in South America or Africa. Greece no longer has any places such as the ones you seek, plus the people in SA and Africa ar infinitely nicer more helpful and friendlier
