These roads are the southernmost end of the Pan-America Highway (Between Harberton and Ushuaia on Tierra del Fuego). While the gravel roads are not technically part of the Highway they connect to it.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week brought to mind my very brief visit to Harberton on Tierra del Fuego.

Worthy of note: the skeletons are from animals that died and were washed up. This was a pretty cool little natural history museum put together by the family that lived in Harberton. I really liked how they showed the animals in context.
