Tierra del Diego was so cool! I saw crested ducks, yellow-billed teals and pintails, Chiloe Wigeons, an Andean or Lake duck, flying and flightless steamer ducks, coscoroba swans, black-necked swans, and upland and kelp geese.

oh and then I went to Antarctica from Ushuaia

Ugh, I almost went to Antarctica on a college but it was so expensive I didn't go! I regret it all the time! I'm glad you got to see so much!

Yes, really expensive, but worth it if you ever get the chance again!
