Globally, there are always many sights that we can't endure. It's as if we always have dreams and distant places in real life, and always have waves and mountains that cannot be crossed. But there is a attraction called the end of the world, as if you come here, you can complete all the journeys of life.
What kind of place is this? In a word, this is a small town, but this town has a different scenery and a lot of seafood. Why is such a simple town called the end of the world? Let's focus on researching together!
(i) Ushuaia
This is a city located on a small island in Argentina, don't underestimate this city, this city is very close to the Antarctic Circle. Therefore, it is known as the southernmost city in the world, and it is also known as the end of the world, but according to scientific analysis, the southernmost city in the world is not it.
It's just that the unique cultural history and geographical location here make people mistakenly think that this is the southernmost city and are unwilling to correct it. Another reason is that because there is a road that leads directly to most countries in the Americas, it is considered to be the end of the road in the Americas, so it has its current title.
(ii) Colonial history
The country was part of Argentina, but it did not escape the history of colonization during that horrific era. The local natives were engaged in a carefree life here at the beginning, and later discovered by the British colonial invaders, they began to establish a colony here, and a lot of immigration was carried out here.
These immigrants are not what we imagined, but a mixture of fish and dragons, including many hooligans, bastards, bandits and so on. Most of them could not survive in their own countries, and later found a way to survive here.
Since then, some have exploited and oppressed the locals, forcing the number of locals to plummet, and some have married the natives and mixed by blood, making the original indigenous population here smaller and smaller.
Later, when Argentina discovered this, it thought that it could be used as an island for exiled prisoners, and a large number of prisoners were sent here. He also ordered the prisoners to build a large prison here, and many prisoners died due to the pressure of long labor.
After liberation, the prison was also converted into a museum open to visitors, where they can learn about the colonial history of the area and the inhuman oppression of prisoners.
Later, after an amnesty, the prisoners were released from prison, but they were not allowed to leave the island. So most of them settled under this small island, intermarried with the natives, and slowly formed the locals we see today.
(iii) Tourist attractions
In fact, there is nothing particularly outstanding about this town, and it is an ordinary small village in the entire infrastructure construction. It is not even comparable to some ordinary characteristic towns in our country, but it is brilliant in that as a place close to the South Pole, it has glaciers.
These glaciers attract many tourists every year. There are also some mountaineers and skiers who come here to climb the snowy mountains. And what is more enjoyable is that if they are tired of climbing halfway, they can also fly directly to the top of the mountain by helicopter. It can be seen that enjoyment is still what Americans know how to enjoy.
(iv) Freedom of marriage
And this small town is also famous for being able to accept couples from all over the world to come here to get a license, and sexual couples can also obtain legal certificates here. This particular initiative is not shared by all municipalities in Argentina, only this town has received an official charter from the state.
The existence of same-sex couples is allowed, so it has also become the place where many unacceptable loves are born. There are still many gay people from all over the world who come here to do an official certification of their love, which does not solve the problem in practice, but can bring more comfort in the psychology.
Although everyone advocates open-mindedness, only a few countries can actually do it, so it is good practice for these cities to be trusted and recognized by some gay people, and to give them a place to take a short break.
Every year, the town's port also departs many cruise ships to Antarctica. Therefore, it also tends to gather a group of tourists who want to explore Antarctica. However, Chinese tourists want to come to this town, but it is very difficult, just the plane has to reverse back and forth several times, the whole journey is very long, for the human body is not a small challenge.
Many visitors are physically and mentally exhausted during their journey. Moreover, the procedures between each transit country are also very complicated and cumbersome. Friends who want to go here, you can go to understand the relevant procedures a year in advance, go to apply, I believe that everyone can have a good experience after breaking all difficulties and risks, spending a lot of time to come here.
