Puerto Williams from the Beagle Channel
Puerto Williams, Chile. This town is on the south shore of the Beagle Channel, east of Ushuaia. It is on Navarino Island (which makes up much of the south shore of the Beagle Channel. The population is said to be 2000, but the town seemed larger to me. There are several military installatiions there. Could be that 2000 is the population other than military and their dependents.
Ushuaia also has at least one large miliitary base (navy). I suspect a major purpose of the military installations in each town is to watch the military installations in the other one.
