El Fin Del Mundo

Wow. It was really dramatic and impressive landing in Ushuaia, the supposed southern most city in the world, yesterday. It's nestled amidst the Andes on a small island in the Tierra del Fuego region. During daylight, you can see the snow-covered mountain chains all around the city. From the air, the landing strip literally appeared to run off the island into the water. It's rather cold here, but the fresh air is refreshing after the heat and humidity of Iguazu, which was starting to make me a bit sick.

A bus is coming to pick us up in three minutes to take us to the Parque National Tierra del Fuego...so more later. Also, my laptop has mysteriously died, so updates may be fewer for the rest of the trip, unfortunately.
