- Malumikizano: Nyanja ya Atlantic ndi Pacific Ocean;
- Dziko: Chile;
- Zigawanika: South America ndi zilumba za Tierra del Fuego;
- Kukula: osachepera 3,5 km;
- Kutalika: 575 km.
Ndithudi palibe munthu wotere amene kamodzi sakanatha kulota ulendo wa panyanja pa chombo. Ulendo wautali ukhoza kukwaniritsidwa poyenda pa Khwalala la Magellan, lomwe ndilo lalitali kwambiri. Okaona malo omwe anaganiza zopita ku Chile ali ndi mwayi wodabwitsa kwambiri, popeza mabanki onse awiriwa amapita kudzikoli, ku Argentina kuli kumapeto kwenikweni kwake.
Mtsinje wa Magellan - ndondomeko
Anthu omwe adasankha kudziŵa bwino geography ndikuphunzira maonekedwe a thupi la madzi, pali mafunso ambiri. Mmodzi wa iwo ndi: Khwalala la Magellan kuli kuti? Malo ake ndi gawo pakati pa zipilala za Tierra del Fuego ndi nsonga ya South America. Zodabwitsa zake n'zakuti, motsatira kutalika kwake, n'zotheka kuwona nyanja ziwiri.

- Dera la Magellan ndi lalikulu mamita 20. Komanso, likuzama kwambiri kumpoto chakumadzulo kuposa kumpoto chakum'mawa.
Mng'aluwu umadziwika kuti kuyenda panyanja n'kovuta kwambiri, chifukwa ndi kochepa kwambiri m'madera ena, omwe amadziwika ndi miyala yamchere ndi yamadzi pansi pa madzi komanso osadziŵika bwino pamphepete mwa madzi.
