There were 3 different expedition ships in port including the very fancy French Borealis ship which was much bigger than ours. And as I mentioned earlier, we were parked right across from the Emerald Princess which made the Silver Explorer look like a tug boat!!!

At Sea
I haven’t said much about Ushuaia, the pretty little town which is at the southernmost tip of the globe. Ushuaia is a resort town in Argentina. It's located on the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, the southernmost tip of South America, nicknamed the “End of the World.” The windswept town, perched on a steep hill, is surrounded by the Martial Mountains and the Beagle Channel. It's the gateway to Antarctica cruises and many outdoor activities. The houses are generally quite small, made of timber and painted in bright colours. Wildflowers were everywhere including what appeared to be lupins of several different colours.
