# Argentina

Harry's Argentina material is a single day in [Ushuaia](/places/ushuaia.md), at
the southern tip of the country, on his way to
[Antarctica](/countries/antarctica.md). He has not travelled the rest of it on
camera.

## Observations

### From [My First Time in Antarctica (10 Day Expedition) 🇦🇶](/videos/dbOpaM25K8k.md)

- **Ushuaia is three hours' flight from Buenos Aires**, and Harry describes the
  distance and remoteness as the first real sign of what the trip is.
- **Not much English is spoken** at the bottom of the country. He finds the
  people very kind.
- **The Falklands are Las Malvinas here**, and there is a memorial in Ushuaia to
  the Argentine soldiers who fought the British. Harry's response on camera is to
  say explicitly that he is not going to make a joke and is not going to say
  anything — which is, in its way, the observation.
- **Prices are high.** The main shopping street is expensive; the only bargain he
  finds is a shop selling counterfeit outdoor gear.
