Argentina – Lapataia Bay
The Bay at the End of the World
This quiet bay on the Beagle Channel west of Ushuaia is noted for its wildlife – and because the Pan-American Highway ends here.
Saltmarsh
Tussocks of tough grasses provide temporary shelter for migrating birds.
Mosses
The fog and constant dampness promote the growth of moss
Nothofagus Beech
The southern beech is the hardiest tree in the region, attracts moss, and forms forests.
End of the Road
The Pan-American Highway from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska ends here with a boardwalk leading to the bay. The final segment of the Highway is Argentina Route 3.
The birds are Argentine geese.
