Riding the final miles south into Ushuiai.

 The ferry to take us across the Magallanes Straight to Tierra Del Fuego.
 The sign says it all. Welcome to Tierra del Fuego.
 Las Malvinas son (are) Argentinas. I don't think so!!
 The Falklands war memorial for the fallen Argentine soilders in Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego.
 Arriving at the entrance to the town of Ushuiai, the most southern town in the world.
 Me.
 The end of the most Southern road in the world Lapataia. Any further South and your in the Antartic Ocean. This is quite a moment. From here on in its North all the way to Buenos Aires.
 The whole of the 2011 Transamerican team. Over 20'000 miles through13 countries from Prudhoe Bay Alaska, the most Northern town in the World, to Ushuiai the most Southern town. I've enjoyed every minute of it. I've made some great new friends and visited some of the most amazing places, and doing it on a motorcycle has made it even more special. But its not quite over yet because we've still got 2000 miles to ride to Buenos Aires, where we will ship the bikes back to the UK. So watch this space there's yet more to come.
"Ushuiai fin del mondo" The end of the world.
