The End of the World

Part 4 in my Journey to Antarctica. If you enjoy the stories and photos, please comment and let me know!

An early morning wakeup and a bumpy flight carried me from the beautiful Buenos Aires to the city at the end of the world: Ushuaia.

Where the Andes mountains meet the Sea: Ushuaia, Argentina.

Commonly recognized as the world's southernmost city, Ushuaia truly feels like lands end: from above I see imposing mountains broken into small islands as they meet the sea, before being completely swallowed whole.

After landing, I was fed a pleasant lunch before going out for a short hike in the surrounding mountains. Cool, fresh air fills my lungs as I walk along the small dirt paths. Standing at an overlook I see the town below: The way it clings to the pristine landscape serves as a reminder of man's frail grasp in this harsh, yet beautiful, land.
