Bottom of the World... Almost

At the tip of all tips, the southernmost city of the World, is the little town of Argentina, called Ushuaia. This fully functional city is the place where I stayed right before my family and I boarded the ship to Antarctica.
Although it was a small town, it was quite bustling with small cafes and restaurants, hotels, little souvenir shops, post offices, houses, and the best icecream parlor in the world! Argentina is known for its Dulce De Leche, or caramel.
The national park in Ushuaia had been preserved quite well, and from the surroundings were so surreal. Snowcapped peaks, but at the same time there was greenery with little rabbits digging up the grass. And the rocky coast of the southern waters. It was amazing.
The little town had so much character, and our one day stay just got better as we boarded the ship on our way to Antartica.
We waved goodbye to Ushuaia as we anticipated the arrival of ice, snow, glaciers, and ocean.
