Ushuaia, Argentina

 

Sunrise in Ushuaia 

 

Ushuaia - pronounced oo-shoo-aye-ah certainly a tongue twister for most - give it a try. The most southern city in the world - 80, 000 people and began as a missionary outpost. Later became an Argentine naval base, a penal colony and laterly a tourist destination and port of entry for international scientists going into Anarctica. A very picturesque place but a long way from anywhere - it was worth the trip.
