The Last Great Wild Places Tour 3: The Longest Day of the Year at The End of the Earth
We are at El Fin del Mundo, which is what the local people call Ushuaia, Argentina. It is the capital of Argentine Patagonia, and the jumping off point for excursions of every sort in Patagonia and the surrounding ocean. Adventure travel is advertised on every street. Even though it's well into summer here, it's cold, and rain or hail spatters down from time to time. The influence of the winds that blow off the Antarctic Ocean is visible everywhere. You can tell the direction you're facing by looking at the directions of the elongation of islands, the travel of waves and the bend of trees before the wind.
It was light until 11:00 pm last night, and light again about 5. It more than makes up for the cold, which doesn't bother me anyway. It's less cold and rainy than Seattle is right now.
