	Puerto Williams, Chile : Introduction \| Frommers.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Puerto Williams is the southernmost town in the world, though it functions primarily as a naval base with a population of less than 2,500 residents.
		The town occupies the northern shore of Isla Navarino in the Beagle Channel, an altogether enchanting location framed by towering granite needles called the "Teeth of Navarino." As a destination, it is surpassed by its Argentine neighbor Ushuaia and its burgeoning tourism infrastructure.
		The Yamana culture, who so perplexed the first Europeans in their ability to withstand the harsh environment with little clothing, is long gone, but visitors may still view the last vestiges of their settlements and a well-designed anthropological museum in town.

		Ushuaia claims to be the most southerly town on the planet, disputed perhaps by Puerto Williams in Chile just across the Beagle Channel.
		There is indeed a naval base in Puerto Williams, just like the naval base that argies have in Usuahia, but the huge majority of the people living in both towns are in fact civilians, so that's an old "excuse" just to keep the "world record"...you know.

	Puerto Williams, Chile
		On the north shore of Isla Navarino, across the Beagle Channel from Argentine Tierra del Fuego, Puerto Williams is the so-called “Capital of Antarctica” and gateway to the rugged Los Dientes backcountry circuit, a difficult five-day hike through rugged soggy terrain.
		Nearly all of Puerto Williams’s services are concentrated around the Centro Comercial, a cluster of storefronts just uphill from the Muelle Guardián Brito, the main passenger pier.
		Regular boat connections between Puerto Williams and Ushuaia, on Argentine Tierra del Fuego, continue to be problematical, but hitching a lift across the channel with a yacht is feasible—for a price.
