Ushuaia & El Calafate

El Calafate is a town solely existing as a tourist centre for visiting the glaciers of the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. The town is set in a dust bowl without trees and a constant howling wind. Once you see the glaciers get the hell on out.

The most famous and easily accessible glacier, the Perito Moreno glacier.




In this pic you can see groups of people marching around on the glacier in crampons - a very touristy activity that I couldn't miss out on.

My favorite photo so far - Patagonia is filled full of free roaming dogs searching for a handout.


Ushuaia, the most southerly town in the world. Its not as cold as I expected, but like everyplace in Patagonia it gets extremely windy.

Here I am on a boat trip out in the Beagle Channel - the town of Ushuaia is behind me.

One of the most southerly lighthouses in the world.
Penguins and sea lions galore

The best activity in Ushuaia is to take the chairlift up to Cerro Martial and hike up to the Glaciar Martial.
