Punta Arenas is a city in Chile's Magallanes region. It is the country's southernmost city and the closest Chilean city to Antarctica and the South Pole.

The first Bahá’í in Punta Arenas was Marcia Stewart Atwater, who arrived in 1943.[1] Artemus Lamb, the second Bahá’í pioneer in Chile, arrived in the city on October 2, 1944, thus relieving Atwater from her post.[1] Lina Smithson (known as Lina Gianotti in Chile) became the first Chilean believer in Punta Arenas in 1945; in 1945 Bahá’ís moved from Punta Arenas area to Santiago, Valparaíso and Valdivia.[2]

Kamal Siegel is a musician born in Punta Arenas of American parents; his first albums were produced in 1995, and his most recent productions in 2007 were produced by Grammy Award-Winner KC Porter. [3] More recently Siegel moved to the Seattle area of the United States and has been working for three years as a full-time employee at Microsoft working on environments for Xbox titles and continued producing CD's.[4][5]
