City crews in Ushuaia, Argentina, prepare to pave a dirt track in an fast-growing neighborhood. The peaks of the Sampaio range of Chile's nearby Hoste Island loom over the boom and bust development of Ushuaia, the growth of which was first fueled by an Argentine prison at the end of the 19th century, then by naval bases, free trade zones and now tourism.
