Title: Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, South America

Description:

The Mitre Peninsula is the easternmost tip of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, 
(54.5S, 65.5W).  Early winter snow can be seen on this south tip of the
Andes  Mountains.  These same mountains continue underwater to Antarctica. 
The  Strait of Magellan, separating the South American mainland from Tierra
del  Fuego is off the scene to the north and west, but the Strait of
LeMaire,  separating Tierra del Fuego from the Isla de los Estados can be
seen.
