    The Museum at the End of the World, like a mysterious treasure box inlaid in Ushuaia, collects the endless imagination of human beings about the extreme places with a cold and profound attitude. This exhibition hall located at the southernmost tip of the earth cleverly combines the vastness of the polar regions with the warmth of humanity: the yellowed logbook records the courage and perseverance of the explorers, the mottled anchors and rusty instruments silently tell the hardships of Antarctic scientific research; the handicrafts of the Inuit and the totem artifacts of the indigenous people of Tierra del Fuego outline the unique outline of polar civilization. Through the glass windows of the museum, the cold wind swept by with the breath of ice and snow, and the scenery of the snow-capped mountains and the port in the distance was in full view. Visitors seemed to touch the edge of the world. This is not only a treasure house of knowledge, but also a spiritual dialogue across time and space, allowing every visitor to explore the ultimate mystery of life and nature in the silence of the polar regions.

    The Beagle Channel is a natural waterway running east-west near Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America, spanning Argentina and Chile, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. To the east, you can reach the Falkland Islands, to the west, you can reach Oceania, and to the south, you can see the Antarctic continent across the Drake Passage. It is more than 200 kilometers long. In the 18th century, biologist Darwin took the cruiser "Beagle" to investigate, and people later named the channel after the cruiser "Beagle". When a cruise ship travels in the Beagle Channel, the white glaciers and the blue sea complement each other.

    The Maschel Glacier is like a masterpiece of ice and snow carved by nature. The silvery white ice body shines coldly in the sun, and the dark blue ice cracks hide mysteries. It stands quietly, outlining the magnificent outline of the polar region with millions of years of precipitation. The roar of the glacier melting is a heart-stirring movement of ice and snow.
