South American Journey - Usuaiha

On Monday we stopped in Usuaiah, Argentina (pronounced oo-sh-yi-ya) for the day. Located on the Beagle Channel it is located about a hundred miles north of Cape Horn. It is a beautiful town of about 60,000. It boasts of wildlife, glaciers and is near the Tierra del Fuego National Park.





I knew it was going to a good day when I saw the sunrise that morning.

The town is located on the Beagle Channel, nestled between the mountains and the channel. This picture was taken while on a trip via catamaran to some islands in the channel that are home to sea lions cormorants and albatross.




The island is called Sea Wolf Island. It seems that in Spanish they are called Sea Wolfs instead of Sea Lions.




There was another island that was home to hundreds of cormorants.






It was a great day of enjoying the spectacular beauty in this hidden corner at the bottom of the world.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body what you will wear. Is not life more than food or the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air they do not sow, reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
Matthew 6: 25-26
