The city at the end of the world is only 800 kilometers away from the South Pole. How do local people live?

If there is a city closest to the North Pole, there is a town closest to the South Pole of the Earth. This is a city near the South Pole but far away from us, which is ushuaia. The local people mainly rely on developed wood industry and traditional fishing for a living. Of course, in recent years, tourism has become one of the main sources of income for residents here.

As we know, anywhere near the South Pole or the North Pole is very cold, and this town is full of huge icebergs and snow peaks near the north and south. The white world looks so clean and simple. Because of its remoteness, the population of this small town is not very large, with less than 70,000 people at most. The unusually cold weather is actually not suitable for human life. But people here have lived for hundreds of years or even earlier and have long been used to the harsh climate here. They were born here and love this land very much. People work hard and live a meticulous life.

Because of its geographical location, this city has also become an important port. This port is open to the whole world, and ships can dock freely as long as they have legal documents. On the one hand, because it is close to the South Pole, it is also the only place for the Antarctic expedition team and an important logistics supply station. More and more people are beginning to know about this beautiful place, and the number of tourists has also increased in recent years.

At first, the indigenous people here mainly made a living by fishing. There are abundant marine resources everywhere, enough for local people to live. Later, people discovered many offshore oil fields, and gradually took oil and gas exploitation as an important income work. The wood processing industry here is also relatively developed, and some people make a living by processing wood.

This is a port where ships can trade freely, and the transactions here are also tax-free. So many tourists are willing to come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery and spend money on things.
