| Ushuaia: the city at the end of the world. |
After our
extended bus journey from Rio Gallegos, we arrived in Ushuaia,
la ciudad del fin del mundo, at the very bottom of Argentina, in the early afternoon. As the bus pulled into the town, the white world gave way to a shoreline flanked by mountains. This is the Beagle Channel, named after the British ship that passed through here on a surveying mission in 1828. In 1832,
Charles Darwin sailed arrived in the same ship on his famous five-year
round-the-world voyage. For me, however, this is as far south in the world as I will get – on this trip at least.
