It is only a 3.5 hour flight from Buenos Aires down to Ushuaia - I left BA in the rain, and arrived in Ushuaia in the sunshine and warmth! It is the warmest I have ever felt - 20C!! Usually the temperature has been in single digits, even with a minus!!
The cloud formations down in this part of the world are unlike anywhere else, particularly down in Antarctica. For the most part. flying down to Ushuaia is over water, and at the last minute the flight path crosses over onto the southern part of Tierra del Fuego, to land on an air strip that has clearly been built out into the water! I guess there were not too many straight stretches of existing land on which to build a runway - it is pretty mountainous around here!
It has felt really good to be back in Ushuaia, knowing that there is another fabulous food-for-the-soul trip to Antarctica in the offing!
