Sea Lions and Imperial Comorants at De Los Lobos Island, Tierra del Fuego, ARGENTINA
It has been years since I’ve seen a sea lion. In fact, I forgot where was the last time I seen a sea lion. Not sure whether it was in Zoo Negara Malaysia or the Singapore Zoo. By the way those were “captive” sea lions, not the wild ones.
Last year, I had a month long trip to Argentina and I traveled to Ushuaia the southernmost city in the world. There, my friends and I took a boat …

It is the closest city to Antarctica and dozens of Antarctica cruises will stop at Ushuaia before proceeds to the Antarctica peninsula via the Beagle Channel.

Despite being the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia bears a unique history of its own. Capital of Tierra del Fuego, province of Argentina; Ushuaia is populated with an estimated one hundred thousand of downright neighborly Argentineans.

Upon reaching the Strait of Magallen, there was a long queue. A lot of passenger cars and trucks queuing up towards the coast.

Little did I know that, we need to cross the strait with the huge ferry? …

My First Small Aircraft Flying Experience with Aero Club Ushuaia, ARGENTINA
Upon arriving Ushuaia, Argentina I often see the light aircraft venturing the sky. Thus, I asked one of the local tour operator out of curiosity and it wasn’t expensive. Half an hour flight cost around US$ 70 and an hour flight cost around US$ 120.
