      <description><![CDATA[Drop a finger onto a globe and trace the ski resorts of the world southward: the Alps, the Andes, New Zealand's Southern Alps, the Chilean centers near Santiago. Keep going. Past Bariloche, past the towns most maps stop bothering to label, down to where the continent splinters into islands and the next landfall is the white silence of Antarctica. There, on the southern flank of Mount Krund near Ushuaia, the lifts of Cerro Castor turn. Opened on July 9, 1999, it is the southernmost ski resort on Earth, and the latitude is not a gimmick. It is the whole point.]]></description>
