Map of the Juan Fernandez Islands, an archipelago off the coast of Chile.
The islands were first recorded in 1574 by Spanish sailor Juan Fernández, who named the islands Mas Afuera, Mas a Tierra, and Santa Clara.
Famously, Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk became marooned on the island for five years between 1704 and 1709, inspiring British author Daniel Defoe to write his novel Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719.
Today, the islands Más Afuera and Mas a Tierra have been renamed Alejandro Selkirk Island and Robinson Crusoe Island, respectively.
In the 1740s, British Commodore George Anson would arrive at the islands with what remained of his fleet during his ill-fated voyage around the world.
