Tierra del Fuego National Park is amazing! As the southernmost national park in the world, it has snow-capped mountains all year round, dense forests, clear lakes and charming bays. Take the End of the World Train, travel through the picturesque scenery, and send postcards at the End of the World Post Office. The unique experience makes people feel like they are in a dreamland. It is a place worth visiting once in a lifetime.
This national park is worth visiting. There are lakes, forests and hillsides. There is the world's southernmost post office. There is also the world's southernmost train. It's a little expensive, about $120 per person. But since you're here, it's worth it if you only visit once in your life.

The Museum at the End of the World, like a mysterious treasure box inlaid in Ushuaia, collects the endless imagination of human beings about the extreme places with a cold and profound attitude. This exhibition hall located at the southernmost tip of the earth cleverly combines the vastness of the polar regions with the warmth of humanity: the yellowed logbook records the courage and perseverance of the explorers, the mottled anchors and rusty instruments silently tell the hardships of Antarctic scientific research; the handicrafts of the Inuit and the totem artifacts of the indigenous people of Tierra del Fuego outline the unique outline of polar civilization. Through the glass windows of the museum, the cold wind swept by with the breath of ice and snow, and the scenery of the snow-capped mountains and the port in the distance was in full view. Visitors seemed to touch the edge of the world. This is not only a treasure house of knowledge, but also a spiritual dialogue across time and space, allowing every visitor to explore the ultimate mystery of life and nature in the silence of the polar regions.
The Ushuaia End of the World Museum has a small train station at that time, which was known as the "Southernmost Train Station in the World". It was used to transport laborers (exiled criminals) at that time; there is also a small post office, known as the "Southernmost Post Office in the World", which has only one staff member and can stamp postmarks there.

The Beagle Channel is a natural waterway running east-west near Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America, spanning Argentina and Chile, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. To the east, you can reach the Falkland Islands, to the west, you can reach Oceania, and to the south, you can see the Antarctic continent across the Drake Passage. It is more than 200 kilometers long. In the 18th century, biologist Darwin took the cruiser "Beagle" to investigate, and people later named the channel after the cruiser "Beagle". When a cruise ship travels in the Beagle Channel, the white glaciers and the blue sea complement each other.
After a day and a night of bumpy ride, we finally passed through the stormy Drake Passage, entered the waters of Chile and Argentina, sailed into the Beagle Channel, passed the southernmost city of South America - Ushuaia, Argentina, the sky became clear, and a rainbow actually spanned across the strait, Chile on the left and Argentina on the right, which excited everyone on the boat [applause] and saw the blue glacier [color]

The Maschel Glacier is like a masterpiece of ice and snow carved by nature. The silvery white ice body shines coldly in the sun, and the dark blue ice cracks hide mysteries. It stands quietly, outlining the magnificent outline of the polar region with millions of years of precipitation. The roar of the glacier melting is a heart-stirring movement of ice and snow.
The Maschel Glacier is not far from Ushuaia. It is covered with snow all year round. You can hike up the mountain, which is not that steep. You can see the Atlantic Ocean and the small city of Ushuaia from a distance. It feels great.

the post office is deemed to be at the south end of Argentina and in good spot of lakes and mountains. it offers a lot of post cards and stamps. since there is only one postman to sell with manual calculation of the amount of payment it may take time to make selection and writing message of post cards.
Ushuaia is known as the city at the end of the world. There is also a small post office at the end of the world here, which is very interesting. The whole post office is not very big, but it is full of various postcards and stamps. There is only one grandfather in the whole post office. He stamps and mails letters for everyone. Sending such a postcard or letter to your friends or yourself is very meaningful.

The Egrejes Lighthouse is a century-old lighthouse in Ushuaia. It is also the southernmost lighthouse on Earth and is known as the lighthouse at the end of the world. Although it is only a symbolic meaning, you must go and see it for the sake of the end of the world.
The Yegrejis Lighthouse is also known as the Lighthouse at the End of the World. It is the southernmost lighthouse on Earth and has stood on an isolated island for more than 100 years. It looks very pure and lonely, and its symbolic significance is very important. Coming here is like coming to the end of the world.

From Buenos Aires, Argentina, we flew 3,000 kilometers to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in South America, known as the end of the world. Martin Street is the main business district there. It can be used to replenish supplies.
This small street is the essence of Ushuaia and the Small World Village, with buildings of different styles and people of different skin colors and nationalities. There are also restaurants with delicious food, and a Chinese restaurant called The End of the World.

Ushuaia's southern tip: experience the world's end
Verified user reviews
La Pattaya Bay is a famous bay in Ushuaia, and it is the bay closest to the South Pole. The sea water is very pure, and the snow-capped mountains and blue sky and white clouds in the distance make this place extremely holy. If you are lucky, you can see whales and dolphins not far out to sea. It is a place that you must visit when traveling in Ushuaia.
Tierra del Fuego National Park is also called La Pataia, which is the real southernmost point of the world, or the "end of the world".
The bay is very quiet, so quiet that you can only hear your own footsteps. Along the wooden boardwalk in the bay, you can see the snow-capped mountains and the deep sky in the distance.
