We stopped to see the actual windblown beach tree from the postcards.Unfortunately I got very nauseous on the winding road to get to the Harberton ranch (estancia).From the ranch we took a 10 min. boat ride to Martillo Island where there was a big colony of Magellanic penguins as well as a few Gentoo (Papua) penguins.It was so cool to be walking right among them!Of course we took a ton of pics and video.We stopped quickly on the way back to Ushuaia to see a beaver dam & the guide explained to us how they had brought 25 pairs from Canada to try to make money from the beaver pelts.Unfortunately it backfired since the beaver pelts are only worth 15pesos & now they have way too many beavers and they are wreaking havoc in the area by destroying the ecosystem w/ their tree gnawing & damming up rivers.Oops!The best laid plans of mice and men!
