In 2009, oil and gas was discovered around the Strait of Magellan, and the airstrip was near the center of the fields.[2][3] Google Earth Historical Imagery (9/2004) shows a well marked 510 metres (1,670 ft) dirt runway. The (3/2013) image and current imagery have the runway in use as a storage area for oil and gas drilling equipment.
