Aujourd'hui, randonnée jusque au Glacier Martial, qui domine la ville. Ca monte pas mal (près de 1000m de dénivellé) mais la vue vers Ushuaia et la baie est à couper le souffle. Une partie de chemin passe également dans une forêts plutôt jolie, qui rend le trajet plus agréable. Quant au glacier lui-même, il est assez petit, et pour quelqu'un qui...

We arrived at Ushaia (U from now on) back in Argentina from Chile this morning after a 5 day cruise on the Mare Australis. The cruise was great. Many shore excursions on the Zodiacs, pontoon motor boats seating about 14 people, but temperatures in the low 40´s with sleet falling many times. We were able to land at Cape Horn, actually an island a...

Well it is amazingly calm on the Drake and we are all as expected eating like Kings, we are being told the return journey will be nothing like this. At this rate I will be able to bring up the ton on the scales on my return. So here is a bit of information about the ship. I am on the Antartic Dream and Ex Chilean Naval Ship approx 50 years old w...

Spent the morning hanging out at the Camp ground for a late brunch. Then we had a coach hired to take us into the Tierra Del Fuego National Park. It was great to visit again another spectacular park that is so well preserved. We then came back in the afternoon tired from our previous late night efforts. It seems scary that we are now into 2007.

Ushuaia: Our final stop in Argentina.....The city at the end the world - Ushuaia, where the boats depart for Antarctica. We spent 3 days there, where we experienced their extreme weather conditions they are known for - 4 seasons in one day - snow, hail, sleet, rain and sunshine. Unfortunately we experienced all these changes during our day trek ...

Saturday Weather is glorious today and about 18 degrees which we werén´t expecting. I imagined the southernmost city in the world to be cold, windswept and grey. Complete opposite all day! We head out for a walk north out of town to find a viewpoint of the city. Get great views of the place, port, bays and mountains. Then go into a forest which ...

Brief greetings from the end of the world!!! I'm at the southernmost town in South America! Wooohoooo!! Leaving here today, and only have a few mins to write this, so will summarise... Left Buenos Aires with new group of people, and flew to El Calafate in Argentina (right next to the border of Chile), had some AMAAAAZING trecking days to Mount F...

We zijn bijna op het einde van de wereld! Gisteren hebben we Buenos Aires verlaten en zijn we gevlogen naar Ushuaia. Het is wel even wennen, het is hier een graad of 5 tot 8 overdag dus de lange broek en trui kan weer opgevist worden vanuit onderin de rugzak. En de vochtigheid is volledig verdwenen. Het doet een beetje denken aan Tromso, en ande...

Our arrival in Ushuaia is dampened by the low cloud which blocks out any of the views we were expecting. However, some of the scenery on the way in gives us our first real look at the lakes and mountains of the southern Andes. Although not huge relative to the giants further north (c. 3,000m at their highest), because we are in the "Southernmost...
