Topher's Tales - Antarctica 2001
TIERRA DEL FUEGO NATIONAL PARK
This park is on the island of Tierra Del Fuego, and is part of Argentina. It sits along the Beagle Channel just down the road from Ushuaia. It is the only national park in Argentina with a seashore, and it is one of the only places in the country where glacial mountains kneel down to the kiss the sea. Additionally, Lapataia Bay is the end of the road, literally, for the Americas. The end of Route 3 is the southernmost point in the Americas you can reach by car.
