c. It is south of the island Isla Carlos III, and between the islands of Santa Inés, Riesco, and the New Brunswick peninsula. Its name pays homage to Francisco Coloane, a Chilean writer whose works took place in the area. The protected area has great biodiversity in part due to the border between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, its strong winds, the presence of massive glaciers, and the extensive coastline.
