Ushuaia - State Island Isla de los Estados

In 1884, the San Juan de Salvamento Lighthouse was built on the Isla de los Estados. A base was also built to rescue eventual shipwreck victims.

The lighthouse was named the "End of the World Lighthouse", due to a novel written by Jules Verne.

It was the last reference sailors had before Antarctica.

In 1995, an agreement was signed between the Ushuaia Maritime Museum and the Argentine Navy to carry out archeological research in San Juan de Salvamento.
