Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse Argentina Postcard

Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse is an iconic red-and-white striped lighthouse located in the Beagle Channel near Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina. It stands on a rocky islet surrounded by cold, often turbulent waters, and is one of the most photographed landmarks in Tierra del Fuego. Although often mistaken for the 'Lighthouse at the End of the World,' this structure is officially known as Les Éclaireurs and serves as a vital navigational aid for ships navigating the narrow channels between Argentina and Chile. The dramatic scenery, with snow-capped mountains in the distance and seabirds circling above, makes it a symbol of remote southern wilderness.
