Hanover Island
# Hanover Island

Hanover Island (Spanish: Isla Hanover) is an island in the Magallanes Region. It is separated from the Chatham Island by the Esteban Channel, Guías Narrows and Inocentes Channel.

## Literature

In popular fiction, a fictionalized version of the island is featured in Jules Verne's book 'Two Years' Vacation'. The book tells the story of 15 boys (aged between 8 and 14) from Auckland, New Zealand, who spent 2 years on this remote island as a result of a storm, which cast their schooner upon the island's shore. There it is called "Chairman Island" after the name of the boys' boarding school.

The Torres del Paine National Park is located on the continental side.
