Our Antarctic cruise bagan from the port of Ushuaia in Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. The colourful little town has steep streets surrounded by the Martial Mountains of the southern Andes. The port is on the Beagle Channel and has a lovely coastal promenade, very good for bird spotting. Close by was the Tierra del Fuego National Park with dramatic scenery, southern beech forests, lakes and the Railway at the End of the World.
