I've just post in the 100 Years thread about Graf Spee's squadron coaling at Más Afuera. This Island is today known as Isla Alejandro Selkirk, since it is the Island on which Alexander Selkirk was marooned from 1704-1709. While there is no direct connection, Selkirk's adventures are believed to be the inspiration for Daniel DeFoe's novel Robinson Crusoe.

Mas Afuera's sister island, Más a Tierra, is today known as Isla Robinson Crusoe.
