¹ Argentina is a big country. It has lots of interesting and exciting places. Argentina is located in South America. It is the sixth largest country in the world! Argentina has many different kinds of land. In the north, there are rainforests. In the west are the Andes Mountains. Along Argentina's east side is the Atlantic Ocean.

² There is another interesting place located in its very southern end. This place is an island. It's called Tierra del Fuego. If it seems hard to pronounce, don't worry. It's a Spanish phrase that means "land of fire." What makes Tierra del Fuego so interesting? The land is beautiful. There are lots of mountains and beaches there. But there is something else that's very special about Tierra del Fuego.

³ Have you been someplace far away? Someplace that seemed a long way from the rest of the world? Maybe you've climbed a tree, or walked out in the woods. Can you remember what it was like being so far away? That's what it's like in Tierra del Fuego. Why? Because Tierra del Fuego has the most southern city in the world! It is called Ushuaia. There is even a train there called the "end of the world" train!
