Today is my last day in Ushuaia before I fly back to the USA. Although I am bummed that my season was cut short, I did have a great time and made the most of it. Today, I decided to visit the glacier for a hike. It was challenging, but the views were worth it! For the first part of the hike, I actually took a chair lift, which was fun, but a little scary in the wind. After that, I walked next to the glacier and sometimes on it to get most of the way to the top of the mountains that surround Ushuaia. I've attached a photo of myself at the highest point that I got to. Behind me you can see the city of Ushuaia, the harbor and the Beagle Channel. I was lucky that it was a sunny, clear day today. On the photo, you will also notice that I have added a red arrow - it is pointing to the Clipper Adventurer.

Tonight I am going to go out to dinner with my friends from the ship and then tomorrow I'll say goodbye until next year.....
