20250211 Tuesday Ushuaia, Argentina
New country, territory, & city. Ushuaia is commonly called the southernmost city in the world. Its coordinates are 54.8*S, 68.3*W. With his North Pole background Owen has swung through 144.8* of latitude, with more to come. We arrived here from the west via the Beagle Channel, a channel at times only five miles wide.
Our tour here is USH-002, Sea Lion and Penguin Rookery. Hopefully we'll see some new birds and animals. The tour ends around 1315 and the ship doesn't leave until 2200 so we should have time for a trot around the town. At least we should get a picture of the Fin Del Mundo (End of the Earth) sign.

It's named for its shape - that of an elephant and for the elephant seals that rest here.
