Ushuaia 乌斯怀亚

最南城市赴南极，探险船队始此地。

船头塞满冲锋艇，南极探险不易迟。

阳光明媚无风雨，船到码头已午时。

换船赶赴碧遘峽，再遇企鹅在今日。

 

游船承载二百人，碧遘海峽看海狮。

海狮企鹅居小岛，巨鹰盘旋觅食吃。

海峡两岸高山起，水深之处千余尺。

最窄之处五公里，二百公里连两池。

 

企鹅筑巢建领地，迎风聚齐立礁石。

沙滩站满幼企鹅，追逐嬉闹另一支。

秋去冬来将北迁，企鹅结伴老途识。

碧遘海峽通南北，来年回家在夏时。

 

Note: Our boat zig zagged the Magellan Strait and arrived in Ushuaia of Argentina. With a population of 83,000 and a location below the 54th parallel south latitude, Ushuaia claims the title of world's southernmost city. At the port, many stealth-style ships are getting ready for their expedition to Antarctica. Our group of nearly 200 people, however, took a “tourist” boat to cruise the Beagle Channel and see the marine animals – we are not disappointed because we saw penguins, sea lions, and various birds. The 240km long Beagle Channel(5km wide at the narrowest point) provided passage for ships from Africa and Europe to the west coast of USA and Canada 115 years ago.
