The End of the Road

From Ushuaia we went on a trip on the furthest point south accessible by road. It was the end of the Pan American Highway. It was over 3,000 km from Buenos Aires and over 17,000 km from Fairbanks in Alaska.

We saw picturesque lakes and bays. Any further south and we would have fallen off the end of the world.

Ushuaia claims the title as the world´s most southern city. Chile claims Puerto William which is located further south and where we stopped to pick up a pilot, for the title. The Argentineans say it is just a town.

We took in lots of further south claims.... the most southern train station, traffic light etc but not the most southerly dogwash.... we had seen that in New Zealand.

Sorry for the absence of photos to back up these claims but there is no wifi available in Punta Arenas.
