Ushuia

 4/29/08- It's the 2nd most southern most city in the world...and some call it...the end of the world. 

 Ushuaia, Argentina is a beautiful town located on the island of Tierra del Fuego.  Hispanic.com's blogger Joel is on a Latin American trip and sent the below photos.

 
The night before these pictures were taken it had just snowed, so the snow on the mountains was powdery fresh. 
 

Lots of skiing is to be had in Ushuaia as the climate is very chilly.  Temperatures generally range all year  long falling between 33-48 degrees Farenheight.

 Cruise ships visiting the Falkland Islands and Antarctica dock at Ushuaia so tourists can take in the beautiful dockside and visit natural parks where penguins, seal lions, and birds frolic.  Animals don't mind humans coming close as you can see by the closeness of these pictures.
