On January 6 we flew to Ushuaia. When we were planning our travels, the stop in Ushuaia was mainly to try and get on a boat to visit Antarctica. But as we planned the last couple months of our year long journey and looked at the costs, it seemed like we would have to save Antarctica for another time. Part of me is disappointed that we didn't go but I think this gives us incentive to save up and figure out how we can make it back to Ushuaia before the end of 2023.
Ushuaia is actually not the southern most city in the world despite thinking this for most of the year...it can be argued as the southern most city but Puerto Williams, Chile is geographically more south. But population-wise isn't really considered a city. So...I'm not sure which way to go. Either way, we enjoyed our stay there and Ushuaia had plenty of activities to keep us entertained. We took advantage of our 5 nights here and booked ourselves activities for 4 of our 5 days. Since the sun didn't set until about 11pm every night, we got to take a sunset boat ride to Isla Bridges that left at 7:30pm. We rarely actually book activities the day we arrive but it was a nice day and we weren't sure how the weather would turn out tomorrow. After getting settled in our hotel room, we booked our tour with Patagonia Adventure Explorer (one of many along the wharf) and headed onto the boat with some friendly Italian and Argentinian tourists.
We then passed by Alice Island to see a colony of sea lions along with some Blue-eyed Cormorants (also known as the Imperial Shag).
Our last stop before going back was a short walk on Isla Bridges.
Heading back to town, the city starts to light up. Can you believe it's almost 10:30pm at this point? Here are are few of my favorite shots of the city from the boat.

Sea lions taking a nap |
If you are wondering if they smell, the answer is yes. |
Look how HUGE that one sea lion's head is! |
More cormorants |
I love the backdrop of the mountains |
Love that smile |
Sea lions and cormorants |
The flag on the boat was later raffled away - but we didn't win |
I'll admit, I got a little seasick |

Our last stop before going back was a short walk on Isla Bridges.
The view is beautiful |
Cushion plant, usually found on high mountains, grows all over Isla Bridges |
Yamana were the original inhabitants of Isla Bridges |

They moved between island via canoe |
They kind of looks like this |

Again, amazing photos!
ReplyDeleteAlso, on a side note Christine, your colors were not clashing in that one photo. You were colorblocking. It's so on trend right now.
Thanks Marra! And, thanks for educating me on the latest fashion trends! I've been a little out of touch wearing travel clothes for the last year. : )
