Ushuaia - A Day on the Beagle Channel


The giant crabs of the Beagle Channel are as delicious as they are awesome in appearance.
Though our recent visit to Ushuaia, at Tierra del Fuego, the very bottom tip of South America, took place in mid-summer, it still snowed at one stage while we were there. Article describes Ushuaia and a trip by converted fishing boat onto the islands of the Beagle Channel where we explored the middens of the now-extinct Indian tribes whose fires at night gave Tierra del Fuego (the Land of Fire) its name.

The town of Ushuaia - with snow in summer and a real frontier feeling - is the southernmost town in the world and right on the Beagle Channel at the bottom tip of South America.
