Southernmost settlements

Location of Punta Arenas, Porvenir, Río Grande, Ushuaia and Puerto Williams in the southern tip of South America.

This article covers towns, weather stations and permanent military bases that are farther south than latitude 45°S. Unlike the northern hemisphere, where several major metropolitan areas such as Moscow, Harbin, London, Paris, Seattle, and Montreal are all located north of the 45°N parallel, the only permanently populated areas south of the 45°S parallel are the small and sparsely populated regions of southern Patagonia in South America, the Falkland Islands, and the southernmost tip of New Zealand.
