At the End of the World!


Hello everyone! Ethan here, and this is pictures from our first day in Ushaia, and I am on the hunt for a personal penguin! This is me standing on the bed in our hotel room in Ushuaia. It is a nice hotel, a little aways from the town, but right on the Beagle Canal!


This is a picture of our hotel, the Costa Ushuaia. It was pretty cold in Ushuaia. It is the southern most city in the world. You can take cruises from here to Antartica.


This is a picture of the Beagle Canal from our hotel parking lot. In the background are the Andes. I learned that the Canal is not named for the Beagle that are doggies, but the HMS Beagle, a big ship that Charles Darwin once sailed on!


This is dad and I in downtown Ushuaia. It is not a very big town, but there were things to do and see. On our first day we had a nice lunch, then went to a museum in town that was once a prison! Now is houses information about the prison and also has art galleries. The next post....Day 2 - boat tour!
