Van Diemen's Land is an old name for Tasmania.

Pardon my attempts at the Spanish names in this chapter - it's not a language I ever learned, so I can only just guess at the pronunciations.

Sorry for the horrific landlubber mispronunciation of 'gunwale'. The word occurs in subsequent chapters where I use the correct pronunciation. I tried rerecording that paragraph, but the quality of my voice in the second effort was jarringly different so I couldn't use it. I tried recording just the word or the one sentence to drop in as a replacement, but again the voice quality was just too dissimilar and stuck out like a sore thumb. Weird that my voice doesn't seem to have much consistency in how it sounds from day to day... So the error will just have to stand.

Unfortunately the picture was one critical error: the natives of Tsalal wore black animal skins, not white. Oh well, this was literally the only picture I could find that was even remotely on topic, so we'll just have to live with it.
