8. Ushuaia and the End of The Road
These are the last pictures from the southbound portion of the trip. There is not too much to photograph from Torres del Paine Park to almost all the way down to Ushuaia. The road actually ends 25 km west of the town. I got lucky with the weather, it was even sunny for one day here.
All pictures from the northbound trip will be in the new section, Photos N and the block will be in Blog N.
