Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina Conditions Report: Jagged Peaks and Frothing Ocean This is my first ever trip to the far south of South America. I’ve been blown away. I’ve been in Ushuaia, Argentina in Tierra del Fuego for a week now and the scenery is intense. The winds can be even more intense.

The Martial Glacier has big rolly polly terrain, chutes, steeps, cliffs, jagged peaks, and […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | November 4, 2014 3 Comments
