Alyeska 2008: Ushuaia

We have now crossed over into Argentina and its port city of Ushuaia, the southernmost city on earth! Once again, we were treated to a beautiful cruise through Beagle Channel with its glaciers, mountains, and natural beauty. The entire city sits at the base of the Martial mountains which gives the landscape a backdrop of snow covered peaks, dense forest, and sparkling seas, very reminiscent of Sitka, Alaska. We took a bus tour up into the mountains and visited the only ski resort in the area. One of the activities they offer in the winter is dog sledding, and we visited the kennel where the dogs are raised and trained. It really did remind us of Alaska with all the Huskies around.
