Boy that sure does bring back some good memories! Southern most town on the face of the planet. That whole area, and even into Chile, reminded me a lot of Alaska, and in particular above the arctic circle.A few photos very near Ushuaia, Argentina (at the southern tip of South America)...

Very glad to help reboot some of those life memories TB!! There have been many times that my wife and I have noted some close comparisons to Alaska on this trip. That said, it is very different. For one, if I were home looking at these images, I'd be glassing the ridge tops for game animals...not here. Additionally, we've seen some very different topographic features down here for us...I'll post a few pic's of those a bit further down the road.Boy that sure does bring back some good memories!

you are a true bad "?ss" you leave alaska in winter to go to winter, even if it is summer there!A photo taken along the northern Antarctic Peninsula (yesterday), which is the only part of that continent that is not completely covered in snow/ice during the summer months...and the Antarctic Peninsula a just a very tiny fraction of that massive continent!

Those are dirt trails in the snow that were made by penguins walking/climbing to reach nesting areas in the exposed rocky ground up high. I included thumbnail images below that you can zoom-in to appreciate the determination of those short-legged creatures.
