Ushuaia is the capital of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego. It is commonly regarded as the southernmost city in the world. Ushuaia is located in a wide bay on the southern coast of the island of Tierra del Fuego. In Ushuaia, the climate is freezing all year, with the maximum temperature reaching only 16°C! In winter the temperature reaches minus 5°C! In addition, the wind is always blowing, especially in the cold period. I remember when I first visited the town, I couldn’t even walk, the wind was pushing me backwards!
But let’s talk about good things: snow. Ushuaia is one of the only cities that have snow on the mountains all year, which is very good for the local economy.
The tourism is the main activity of the town. It’s from Ushuaia that the principal departures to Antartic are made.
I went there in April 2008, and it was awsome! I recommend the experience!
