A far-off view of the Ushuaia, Argentina airport, where we arrived 3 days ago. We walked past this charming field the first time that we went into the city center. We're at the very southern tip of Argentina, and it hovers between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius right now, even though it's the end of their summer.
