Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego province of Argentina was inhabited by Indians 10,000 years ago, the area welcomed the first Europeans in 1869 and was officially founded in 1884. A few years later, in 1902, was created the Presidio (jail) de Ushuaia, making this city the most dreaded word for the worst criminals in Argentina, who, sent to that prison as the worst punishment, barely survived the cold and forced labor.
The prison was closed in 1947 and today transformed into the Maritime Museum and the Prison of Ushuaia is one of the most visited tourist spots.
