Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world. It is located on the
southern coast of Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, in a spectacular setting surrounded by mountains
and overlooking the Beagle
Channel.
Although Ushuaia itself is not especially attractive, it is a key access point to the southern regions; it receives regular
flights from Buenos Aires, (at Ushuaia International Airport), and cruise ships visiting the Falkland Islands and Antarctica dock at the port. There
are a number of ski areas nearby.
Also of interest is the Tierra del Fuego national park to see the Bahia Lapataia on to the west on the border with Chile, and hiring a boat charter to Cape Horn (in Chilean
waters).
"Ushuaïa, le magazine de l'Extrême" was the name of a television program, presented by Nicolas Hulot and broadcast on the french TV channel TF1 from
September 1987 to June 1995.
