Lighthouse of the Week, March 30 - April 5: At the End of the World

I decided to see what South American had in the way of lighthouses this week.  When I searched for South America lighthouses, one of them dominated the pictures.

That lighthouse is Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (Wikipedia), in the Beagle Channel, near Ushuaia, Argentina.  It is called by some the Lighthouse at the End of the World, though that moniker from Jules Verne actually belongs to another lighthouse.  Nevertheless, the Ushuaia light is apparently seen a lot and photographed a lot.  

Thus, there are lots of pictures of it, and it's easy to search on and appreciate.  The classic view is with snow-covered mountains behind it.

A nice example of that can be found here, from Flickr. (Matt Kitson)

Here's a nice colorful shot (Beacon South America)

And here's a closeup, noting the brick construction.
