USHUAIA'S LIGHTHOUSE OF THE END OF THE WORLD

            somewhere along the coast of  Argentina ( shared by my research friends)
Edited by me.

Ushuaia's Lighthouse, often referred to as the "Lighthouse at the End of the World," is located on Isla de los Estados (Staten Island) in the Beagle Channel off the southern coast of Argentina. Its official name is the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.

This lighthouse was built in 1920 and stands as a guiding beacon for ships navigating the treacherous waters of the channel. The name "Lighthouse at the End of the World" was popularized by Jules Verne’s novel of the same name, though his fictional lighthouse was set on a different island.

The area surrounding the lighthouse is known for its rugged beauty and harsh weather conditions, adding to its mystique. It’s a significant landmark for maritime navigation and a symbol of the remote, frontier-like quality of Ushuaia, which bills itself as the southernmost city in the world. If you're ever in Ushuaia, taking a boat tour to see the lighthouse is a popular activity.
