The southernmost city in the world is "Ushuaia", a small city in South America, also known as the end of the world.

"Ushuaia City" is located at the southernmost tip of the Tierra del Fuego region in southern Argentina. It is a beautiful small city and the capital of Tierra del Fuego.

It was founded in 1870 and established as a city in 1893. The main economic sectors are electrical appliances, wood processing, fishing and tourism. Residents are mostly engaged in logging, sheep raising, fishing and other production.

The permanent population here is very small, only about 16,000 people.

There are many small islands southwest of Ushuaia, with the Beagle Channel crossing them and becoming the dividing line between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

Ushuaia guards the chokepoint of the strait. It can reach the Malvinas Islands to the east, Oceania to the west, and Antarctica to the south. Its strategic position is extremely important, so there were Argentines in 1870. Come and settle here.

Ushuaia is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. The lush slopes and majestic white mountaintops complement each other. Various buildings are located on both sides of the rippling Beagle Channel and in the white snow of the green mountains, forming a picture. Beautiful landscape painting.

The beautiful scenery of "Ushuaia City" attracts many tourists to visit. During the peak tourist season every year, up to 56,000 tourists come here.

There are delicious seafood with special flavors, such as crabs, clams, krill, spider crabs, seal meat, sardines, cod, jellyfish and other specialties.

At the same time, Ushuaia’s unique geographical location also makes it the gateway to Antarctica.

Ushuaia is 3,200 kilometers away from the country’s capital, Buenos Aires, but only 800 kilometers away from Antarctica. It takes at least a week to travel to Antarctica by boat from Australia, New Zealand and other places.
