The End of the World

54° 48.73′ S

We’ve reached the end of the world.

All is well.

We’re in Ushuaia, Argentina.

It’s the southernmost city in the world, located on the island of Tierra del Fuego (land of fire), off the southern coast of Argentina and Chile. It’s separated from the South American continent by the straight of Magellan.

We’re 6,810 miles / 10,960 kilometers from Adel, Iowa.

We’re 6,714 miles / 10,805 kilometers from Carlsbad, California.
