When you think of "The End of the World", what comes to mind? Cliffs, seas, endless roads...
Although we all live in cities, we are full of curiosity about the earth, as in the words of The Pianist at Sea: "I can't see the end of the city, but I want to see the end of the world." ”
This time, let's go and see where the end of the world is
<h1>The End of South America: Tierra del Fuego</h1>
Tierra del Fuego is located at the southernmost tip of South America, with an area of about 48,700 km², and was demarcated in 1881 by Chile and Argentina, with Argentina to the east and Chile to the west.
Argentina's Tierra del Fuego region is the equivalent of a province, and its capital, Ushuaia, is a city of just 30,000 people. The 63,000 hectares were officially opened in 1960 and are visited by tourists from all over the world every summer in the southern hemisphere.
Tierra del Fuego is best known for its identity at the end of the world, and for its lonely and persistent lighthouse. Located in the southernmost part of Tierra del Fuego, the port of Ushuaia, part of Argentina, the lighthouse is just 800 km from the northernmost point of antarctica.
The silent existence of this lighthouse marks the end of the land of human civilization and makes it the ultimate place of distance, end, poetry and protection. Verne wrote "The Lighthouse at the End of the World", which tells the touching story of how an old sailor swore to die to defend this place and defend the spiritual light of mankind.
Tierra del Fuego's penguin habitat, which accounts for 10% of the world's penguin population, don't be surprised if you see spectacular flocks of penguins.
It also includes Peruvian otters, Ecuadorian fox wolves and South American camels, as well as rare birds such as Tierra del Fuego night herons, buzzards, black woodpeckers, Tierra del Fuego short-eared owls and Andean eagles. Oh, and you can also see humpback whales here.
The port of Ushuaia on the island is only 800 km from the closest point to the Antarctic continent. The port is a rear base for Argentine and other countries to go to Antarctica, where research ships replenish fuel and food.
<h1>The End of Eurasia: Portugal's Cape</h1>
Portugal has three world's end capes, of which Cabo da Roca is the most prestigious. Cabo Das Roca, together with the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa and Cape Horn in Chile, is called the world's three great seas. Located about 30 kilometers from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, it is recognized as one of the top 50 destinations in the world worth visiting.
As the westernmost tip of Eurasia, it is the end of the world in the minds of Europeans. The poet Camons, who has a symbol of the Portuguese spirit, once wrote here: "The land ends here, and the sea begins in Si".
In addition to Cabo da Roca, Cabo San Vincent, located in Sagres, the southwestern tip of Portugal, is also a great place to feel the end of the world.
<h1>The End of the North World: Longyearbyen, Norway</h1>
Longyearbyen, the largest island in the Norwegian constituent Svalbard Islands, Spitsbergen Isle only 1,300 kilometers from the North Pole, is the world's closest city to the Arctic and is listed in the World Record.
Longyearbyen is the only city in the world to have found death illegal. Unless of sudden death, patients and elderly people must leave Longyearbyen to go to other hospitals in Norway for treatment and retirement.
Moreover, people are forbidden to have children, and pregnant women must leave the place a month before giving birth. Longyearbyen is home to about 1,800 people, most of whom are Norwegians and russians.
The glaciers here are magnificent, making people forget the cold and leave only admiration for the world.
There are also polar bears, seals and arctic foxes
Don't ask why there is no end to the world in the East, because the East is where the sun rises
Is the end of the world always looking into the distance? I don't think so, each end extends the meaning and possibility of human existence itself, and when we explore the end, it is not for a borderless earth, but a borderless world, a world full of watch, courage and love.
