No folks, you cannot take a coach to Antarctica, just across the Magellan Straits to Ushuaia, in order to board a vessel of some sort, heading south to the last southerly outposts on earth and the South Pole.

Check out Pueblo Viejo in Ushuaia. A great place to stay and very good at organising tours in advance for you. Thanks Freddy.

Magellan Penguins




This is a Gentoo Penguin and looked distinctly lonely as the only one amongst hundreds of the Magellan species located around the Beagle Channel.

Sea Lions and plenty of Cormorants in the Beagle Channel.

Ushuaia, the last city on earth, at least in southern latitudes. El Fin del Mundo.

We joined an excellent day cruise amongst the islands of the Beagle Channel.
