After soaking in the sun up North in Iguazu, we headed down to what was once known as the "end of the world", the city of Ushuaia. Ushuaia is located in Tierra del Fuego, the most southern inhabitable island in the world. Upon landing in Ushuaia we busted out our jackets as the temp was ~40-50 degrees F. Ushuaia is typically used as a launching pad for Antartic cruises so the city itself felt like a nice small ski town with the main focus on tourism.
Right outside the city is the Tierra del Fuego national park which stretches along the length of the island. We spent the first full day here hiking around the park (including taking a relaxing rafting trip around the bay) and the second full day taking a cruise around the Beagle Channel (which connects the Alantic and Pacific oceans and prior to the Panama canel, was the main crossing points for ships) and taking on the steep hike to see our first glacier of the trip on Cerro Martial.
