Default Greetings from the southernmost city in the world
My wife and I, along with some friends, are on a 2-week cruise from Buenos Aires to Antarctica, and back to Buenos Aires. We stopped at Ushuaia, Argentina, today and it's the southernmost city in the world. We leave for Antarctica tomorrow.

A few shots of Ushuaia and the islands in the area.

"In Ushuaia, the summers are cold and mostly cloudy; the winters are very cold, snowy, and partly cloudy; and it is windy year round. "

Man, I wish you'd have told me!

So cool!

We're on the Celebrity Infinity in an "owner's suite" which is really quite nice.

We don't cruise alot, but the friends we're with cruise 10-12 times a year. I'm not overly impressed by the ship or X, but the stateroom is nice and going to Antarctica has always been on my bucketlist.
