Visit the Ushuaia Maritime and Prison Museum

Ushuaia is one of the main entrances to the Antarctic continent. It is only more than 900 kilometers across the Drake Strait and is also the closest city to the Antarctic continent. This time, I bought a great value ticket for the Antarctic Islands through the "Let's go to Antarctic" travel agency. I was lucky to have upgraded from the originally booked triple room to the single room. I also met many small people during this trip. Partners, leave a beautiful memory of traveling to Antarctica together; Ushuaia is known as a small town at the end of the world. In addition to the well-known Tierra Tierra National Park, there is also the "Marine and Prison Museum" that is worth visiting. This prison was established by the early colonial government to exile criminals to the end of the world to open up wastelands. Since 1902 AD, prisoners have built the prison body by themselves. The original plan was 4 0 prison cells, until 1920 AD, a total of 380 prison cells were built. During its heyday, more than 600 criminals were held, most of whom were life-long prisoners. They came here to engage in various labor work. There is still a section of about seven kilometers of trains in Tierra del Fuego National Park (now run by the Southern Railway Company for sightseeing purposes), which was also paved by these criminals. , Deforestation of forest wood was used to build the main roads, buildings and bridges in the town of Ushuhuaia; at that time, those criminals came to this cold and isolated land. Even if they escaped from prison, if no one responded, they would definitely die of death on the way; there was a river in Tierra del Fuego, which was named after the escape from prison and was found to die of death on the bank of the river. The name is very meaningful. I highly recommend that you must arrange a visit in Ushuaia! #Ushuaia #Maritime and Prison Museum #ushuaia #Museo Marítimo y del Presidio de Ushuaia
