Here, there, everywhere. We have to call it something, don't we? Who's got an idea? Let's call it Toponymy.

The End of the World


Intensidad... o Lago Fagnano, originally uploaded by Any Manetta.

Ushuaia, Argentina is the southernmost city on the planet. The lonely town on Tierra del Fuego is serviced by the Southern Fuegian Railway, more popularly known as the End of the World Train. The narrow gauge railway was built to service the penal colony of Ushuaia and aid in the construction of a full prison there. The penal colony has since shut down and the train is now a tourist attraction for visitors to Argentina's southernmost lands.
