Living on a Narrowboat
If you take the Beagle Channel on a ship called the Barracuda, they let you in an aquarium miles out of town free of charge.
Good
It is good so bother going. It may be miles out of town.
I saw this dog on the way.
Looks like Coojo.
It had no mates. I felt a bit sorry for it.
Always remember
Watch the coffee machine, the lack of supervision coupled non automated cup dispersion may be a bad experience leading to loss of coffee/money+irritation.
These seals pop up like, all around the boat and follow you up the Beagle Channel which is particularly cold and dangerous.
Even the lighthouse is deserted.
You will see many of these blighters in Ushuaia.
Dominant tops
Higher seals are bigger seals, the mini ones hang around the bottom where the big guys can keep an eye on them.
Apart from the obvious.
Options are many and much involving large formations, saline creatures or frightening or inhospitable features or foul.
Are fantastic.
Mountains
Massive snowcapped mountains tower over.
There are more mountains here, it’s awe insipring, no doubt about it.
Ushuaia Town
“There is no other place in nature that causes more savage or terrifying sights than this…”
– James Cook (International Explorer) 1768
It doesn’t say that in the Lonely Planet guide.
But things you should know:
Ushusaia is cold
Ushusaia is the southernmost city in the world
Ushusaia is full of eskimos
I’ve been there
That’s enough information to satisfy your curiousity for now..
Here’s some pictures.
Beer
Beer and a dead crab.
Costs 22gbp research shows.
For the same 600k journey, no additional stay in Rio Gallegos plus the reduced travelling time from 12 hours to 50 minutes this has to be the wise option.
