Compared to the north, Argentina's southern towns look very... well, northern. There's something Nordic about it all. Reminds me of Sweden :)

Back at the start of the 20th century, these areas weren't really settled. The climate here isn't great for living. These days people only live here to make money off tourists.

I was planning to do some hiking in El Chaltén (and it's not for nothing that it's considered the hiking capital of Argentina), but honestly didn't see much of anything. There's supposed to be a massive mountain in the second-to-last photo, but it just vanished into thick fog. Guess I'll have to go back again.
