*WS 19 ( re-post ) - The southern most town/city in the World - Ushuaia, Argentina*
We now move to South America to look at another delightful small town. Ushuaia, population: 60,000. We were here in March 2019. Beautiful scenes of buildings against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. Unique architecture for some buildings.
It is a port of call for cruise ships, big and small, including those to the Southern Antarctica. It is also the gateway to the popular Tierra del Diego National Park. Small tour agency booths line the waterfront. Many shops selling cold weather wear and outdoor gear.
The town is also famous for seafood, in particular the southern king crab (lithodes santolla). This one cost RM 175. In KL it could cost double. The last photo is a specimen of sea life found at the local museum.
