Okay, maybe not the end of the earth, but certainly the end of the continent. We had reached the Southernmost point of the Americas. South America’s roads end in Ushuaia, Argentina – and we drove there! This is a photo of Ushuaia at night and in the morning. Due to the location, there are not … More The end of the earth!
