November Day 12 - Tierra del Fuego

Tierra del Fuego translates to land of fire. Apparently when the first Europeans arrived they saw the natives had lit fires all over the country side hence the origin of the name.



The city of Ushuaia, population of 50,000. This is most southernly city on the planet which as an airport. Ships to Antarctica dock here. They really get a lot of mileage from their fin del monde / end of the world status
