USHUAIA, Argentina

Or, the end of the earth
Ushuaia is the capital of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego. It is commonly regarded as the southernmost city in the world. Ushuaia is located in a wide bay on the southern coast of the island of Tierra del Fuego, bounded on the north by the Martial mountain range and on the south by the Beagle Channel. Its population is estimated today at about 64,000 (people) and double that population in sea lions and penguins!

At this point, we can't go any further south without a boat and some really good cold weather gear. So, tomorrow we start our journey back up north! When I get home, I promise to post a boat load of photos. All is good, and when the wind isn't blowing us off the road, the riding is grrrrreat!

Keep watching for updates
