Ushuaia, Argentina and Cape Horn

The 240 ft Laurel is the largest private yacht built in the US (Delta Marine Shipyard in Seattle in 2006) and No. 41 on the list of the world's largest yachts.

Puerto Williams, Chile

A bit further South than Ushuaia though much smaller, the settlement and military base at Puerto Williams, Chile also lays claim as the world's Southernmost town.
