Environmental Woes of Tierra del Fuego -- Development

A reputation for remoteness is the draw for tens of thousands of tourists that arrive each summer season, often on cruise boats like this Northern European ship, with her 3,000 passengers. Normally at the city pier for a day or less, cruise ships spill passengers into the city for a precious few hours of souvenir hunting before continuing to or from Antarctica. Tourist dollars fuel the city's latest boom economy.
