The world is a big place and there are many beautiful places, today we are going to introduce this place that many people may not even have heard of, but because it is the southernmost city on earth, so it is understandable that we do not know, the city's name is Ushuaia.
Ushuaia is the capital of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego, located on the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego, and is the southernmost city in South America, known as the "end of the world". Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and with a view of the Beagle Channel, the city is only 800 kilometers from the South Pole, making it an important supply stop on the way to the South Pole.
The southern hemisphere summer is the peak season for tourism in Ushuaia, and the small city of 60,000 people receives tens of thousands of visitors every year. Many trips to South America end here for different types of tourists, where poverty and wealth meet at the end of the world.
Ushuaia is less than 1,000 kilometers from Antarctica, and because of this, its climate is relatively extreme, and living here is no easy task. One of the features of Ushuaia is the wide variety of climate changes that can occur in a single day. However, despite its proximity to the Antarctic, it is not always in a state of extreme cold, so be sure to plan ahead for your visit here, where the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, with an extreme low temperature of -21°C once.
Although it is a city, it is actually a small town. Ushuaia is surrounded by mountains and the sea, backed by snow-capped peaks, facing the cold sea, and the streets are lined with small wooden houses that only appear in fairy tales. Perhaps because of this cold climate, most of the houses in the town are colorful and add warmth to the cold atmosphere.
When you come to the city, you can't miss a trip to the prison museum, which used to hold about 700 prisoners, and because of its location, it was difficult for the prisoners to escape, and even if they did, it was difficult to adapt to the cold climate. The abandoned prison was later converted into a museum.
The two-story building itself is a relic of the past, and is divided into two sections: the prison and the maritime section. The prison section still preserves the original appearance and facilities of the former prison, and exhibits photos of the early days of Ushuaia and information about some important prisoners.
Here you can also largely satisfy the desire to taste seafood, which is very fresh and fatty due to the long growing cycle, even more powerful and tasty than seafood from other parts of the world, and not expensive!
