Melinka is a Chilean town in Aysén Province , Aysén Region . It is located on Ascención Island and is the administrative center of the commune of Guaitecas since 1979.
The town is on a small peninsula off the main island, and shelters a small harbor. The island is in the Guaitecas Archipelago , at the southern end of the Gulf of Corcovado .[2] [3] Melinka is served by Melinka Airport and is connected by gravel road to the hamlets of Repollal .
Melinka is culturally similar to Chiloé Archipelago [4] but its inhabitants custom to bring dogs on board in their travels is likely rooted in native Chono traditions.[5] [6]
In 2017 Melinka had a population of 1329 inhabitants down from 1411 in 2002.[1] [7]
History [ edit ]
Prior to its founding in 1860 the location of Melinka was known as Puerto Arenas (literally "Port Sand") by whalers who visited the area regularly.[8] Melinka was founded in 1860 by the German immigrant, Felipe Arnold Westhoff .[9] Westhoff had been commissioned to supply railway sleepers to Ferrocarril Central Andino in Peru.[9] At the time the Guaitecas Archipelago was still part of Chiloé Province .[citation needed ] In the first years of Melinka a series of indigenous tombs were discovered while building houses.[10] From Melinka Westhoff exported Pilgerodendron uviferum (Spanish : ciprés de las Guaitecas ) that made excellent wood for sleepers.[9] In 1870 the port was charted by Enrique Simpson on board Chacabuco .[11]
The famous pirate Pedro Ñancúpel was captured in Melinka in 1886 and bought into justice in Ancud the same year.[12] [13]
According to a local tradition the word melinka comes from Russian and means lovely. In fact, there is the Russian archaic colloquialism милёнка (transl . milyonka ) which means "lovely."[14] Westhoff who came from Lithuania in the Russian Empire named Melinka after his sister.[13]
Climate [ edit ]
Melinka has a wet oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification : Cfb ).
