The Antarctic fur seal, Arctocephalus gazella, has a wide distribution range and breeds primarily in subantarctic and Antarctic locations of the Southern Ocean. We report the first record of this species in northern Chile in August, 2014. Although no external trauma was observed, the seal was presumed to be sick because it appeared to be underweight. This sighting is the northernmost record of this species on islands and the continental coastal areas of the southeastern South Pacific.
