Named after an element, this second largest country in South America features the southernmost city in the world. Name that silver nation.

“Argentum” means silver in Latin, lending its elemental name to Argentina. Characterized by the rugged landscape of Patagonia, which it shares with its neighbor, Chile, Argentina is a natural wonderland, featuring more than thirty national parks and bordering the Andes mountains. Ushuaia, known as “the end of the world," is also located here, making for a great launching point from the southernmost city to Antarctica.
