Over time, the way people vacation has changed drastically. Sure, there are still those who like to sit by a pool and soak up the sun, but others really want to see the beauty that the world offers. This is probably thanks to the Internet, which has provided users with glimpses of these remote areas. One such area is in South America and will provide an unforgettable experience, especially on Antarctic cruises from Ushuaia, Argentina.
While there are many beautiful destinations in the world, there are few that can offer this much. Bounded by the Beagle Channel to the south, and a beautiful mountain range to the north, it is known as the world's southernmost city. It's situated on a wide bay, where many cruises begin and end.
While the city is situated so close to the Antarctic, it's winters are not particularly cold. It's warmest month is January and its coldest is July, and is known to be quite humid. It's summers are often cloudy and windy, and in wintertime, it experiences frequent snowfalls and rain showers.
What's wonderful about the southern latitude is that it provides plenty of daylight hours. For instance, in summer, one can expect approximately 17 hours of daylight, while winter has only seven hours. Furthermore, being a major tourist destination, it has lots to offer its local and international tourists.
There are cruises that take them to numerous Antarctic islands, like the South Shetland Islands and the South Sandwich Islands. The port is also synonymous with scientific expeditions as well. This commercial pier is the point of departure for these and vacation cruises such as to the Falkland Islands.
In the past, Ushuaia was actually a penal colony specific to both dangerous offenders as well as real offenders. This prison has now turned into a museum that's open to the public, just one more thing for tourists to take in, aside from the raw natural beauty, like its beautiful bays and majestic glaciers. Of course, there are also the most beautiful and memorable sunsets just waiting to be experienced.
While this is the place where one's trip can begin, it will be one that will bring memories that last a lifetime. It goes far beyond any expectations tourists may have. While the cruise ships are loaded with all the latest amenities and are treated to exceptional service, the places they visit are priceless they are loaded with impressive wildlife, possibly filled with thousands of penguins, and icebergs of every form.
The important thing is to remember to pack appropriately for this type of cruise. It's not one's typical vacation, where bathing suits are the norm. Instead, this requires thermal underwear, gloves, and waterproof outerwear from head to toe. A good camera with lots of batteries and pair of binoculars will allow one to really experience their vacation to the most. Plus, for the most part, it's a casual affair, although there are some cruise ships that do offer more formal evenings.
