To Ushuaia, Argentina

To begin, I had go to the end. The "End of the World," as Ushuaia (oo-SHWY-ah) is called, is Argentina’s southern most tip of South America.   

40 years ago Ushuaia's population was around 5,000.  2015's population was 67,600.  Tourism, navy and electronics are its industries.

The channel was named for the ship HMS Beagle - which, in 1833, provided English amateur naturalist Charles Darwin with his first sighting of glaciers.
