1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #515 - Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, Ushuaia 5

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #515

- Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, Ushuaia 
 
 
(Called "the lighthouse at the end of the world", Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse guards the entrance of the Beagle Channel into Ushuaia. We hopped onto a small boat for 15people for our final tour here to see some spectacular birdlife and seal colonies amongst the small islands about 5 miles east of Ushuaia. Stopping on one of the islands, we begin to understand why they are uninhabited - strong winds and the bitter cold months would mean nothing can be planted here. Against the Andes mountain background, these islands are wildlife havens)
