Introduction to today's journey
Today's journey continues by plane firstly checking back into the expanding Santiago Airport. A flight across the continent over the Andes takes me to Buenos Aires, South America's largest city. There I quickly transit catching my final flight down the length of Patagonia to Ushuaia, the world's southernmost and remotest city.
Today's Journey
 |
Santiago Airport after I've checked in and gone through immigration again, about to head across the continent to Argentina. |
 |
Flying eastward out of the haze of Santiago approaching the Andes. The triangular peak in the distance to the left is Mount Aconcagua, the highest mountain outside the Himalayas. |
 |
Flying over the snow-capped mountains of the Andes, the almost impenetrable barrier between Chile and Argentina. |
 |
Landing in Buenos Aires to transit for a couple of hours. This is South America's largest and most populous city. |
 |
Having gone through immigration and entered Argentina, I catch my next plane. |
 |
Flying out of Buenos Aires over the estuary of Rio de la Plata separating Argentina from Uruguay. From here we head south. |
 |
Flying over southern Argentina heading towards the bottom of the continent. |
 |
Landing in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost and remote city sheltered under the rugged snow-capped mountains of Tierra del Fuego. |
 |
I have arrived in Ushuaia in the early evening. |
 |
The Martial Range towers above the small city, very cold at 54 degrees latitude. After two days of flying, I head off for an early night. |
