Fuerte Amador – Panama
It’s the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal jutting out from Balboa. Nice place with sparkly restaurant, souvenir shops. Yachts are shown to have special spot in this port.
Salaverry Trujillo – Peru
Located on the lower Moche River, Trujillo is the capital of the La Libertad Region and is the third-most populous city in Peru. Nice buildings with Spanish colorful touch stood in the center of the city, the surrounding was clean but quiet. Maybe because it’s around noon time, only few local people seen. History said, it was founded under the name of "Villa Trujillo," in 1534 and in King Charles I of Spain gave it the rank of 'city' and the coat of arms that remains a symbol for the city. Trujillo was one of the first cities in America founded by the conquering Spanish armies. It declared its independence from Spain in 1820 and for a time was the capital of Peru. Tourism is a major economic factor in the area and Trujillo is also a leading exporter of asparagus. In fact, Peru is the world’s leading asparagus exporter. The proximity to the ancient sites of Moche and Chimu make it a favorite destination for history buffs and archaeologists. The old mansions and manors of the city attract much attention for their colonial splendor.
Puerto Montt – Chile
The fresh air and tranquil environment with wooden houses perched on hills was coloring the place. These original architectures interspersed with modern buildings and stores would be the nice combine of art. Known as ‘the end of the line’, Puerto Montt has famous seafood, sausages, cakes, pastries, cheese and its fishing center. This fishing port marks the end of the Lake District of Chile.

Ushuaia – Argentina
‘The end of the word (fin del mundo) beginning of everything’ is the slogan of this city. It claims the southernmost city in the world even though there are two other contenders. It’s windy and fresh air, chill but nice. Wooden buildings around the town, with the snowy mountain on the background should not be missed to see.

Antarctica
It’s the southernmost continent with 5.4 million square miles, 98% covered by ice, the coldest, driest and windiest continent in the world. It’s the fifth-largest continent behind the Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. Technically, it’s the largest desert in the world due to the lack of precipitation. Some researches study this continent and focus on monitoring the marine ecosystem, atmospheric studies, and the effects of increased ultraviolet radiation on marine and terrestrial communities. The ever-increasing ozone hole has prompted much of the interest in the latter. In fact, climate induced changes in sea-ice conditions and snowfall has resulted in the reduction of the population of Adéle Penguins to fewer than 3300 pairs, down by 60% from 1974 and it has been predicted that they will be gone from the island altogether by 2014.
