Ushuaia is the ‘Capital of the Antarctic‘ as most expeditions to the Antarctic depart from here. I was here briefly at the end of my first polar journey in 1999. Before re-boarding MV Ortelius, I have a good rest in Argentina and a most enjoyable hike in the Los Glaciares Park in the Patagonian Ice Field. Read more
