End of the earth (by Joe)

As Laura mentions in her blog below, our cruise around Cape Horn left from Ushuaia in southern (southern) Argentina, which holds claim to be the southernmost town in the world and sells itself as 'The end of the earth'.

It was - as you'd expect - bitterly cold, windy and looked pretty forbidding. However we soon discovered that it's not quite as desolate as it looks. A healthy flow of tourist bucks have funded a good range of hotels, guesthouses, boutique shops, bars, restaurants and cafes.

Anyway, for what it's worth, here's a few pics of the southernmost town in the world:
