*WS 62: The Tierra del Fuego National Park near Ushuaia, Argentina*
Ushuaia is a town located at the southern tip of Argentina and often regarded as the southern-most city in the World. In 2019 we visited Ushuaia and spent a day at the Tierra del Fuego National Park. The park was established in 1960, with over 680 sq km of land covering mountains, grassland, lakes, waterfalls and glaciers.
Many hiking options are available. We chose an easy one for the morning, just 5 or 6 km over low terrain. Shown some typical scenes, and an indigenous Magellan goose. The 6th and 7th photos show 2 endemic parasitic plants at the park. The 1st one is the orange ball-like "misodendrum punctulatum" and the 2nd one white thread-like "Chinese lantern". Met a biker from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil who has ridden 8,000 km from Rio to reach here.
