At the end of Argentina, at the end of the continent, at the end of the world, there is a city far away from any other. Capital of Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur Province, the city is also known as the world's southernmost city or “the end of the world”. An industrial port and a tourist hub, Ushuaia attracts numerous tourists every year. Located on the shores of the Beagle Channel surrounded by the mountain range of the Martial Glacier, it was founded on October 12 in 1884 by Augusto Lasserre. The word Ushuaia comes from the Yaghan language: ush and waia, meaning "deep bay”.
