Introduction to today's journey
Today's journey explores the city centre of the world's southernmost city, Ushuaia. I then pack up and check out to attend a briefing before boarding the ship upon which I will be based over the next two weeks on an expedition tour to Antarctica. Once boarded, the ship follows the Beagle Channel towards its mouth at Cape Horn.
