Built in 1945, a strong earthquake in late 1949 put the lighthouse into a lean. Sadly, we noticed that someone robbed the historical plaque. Another lighthouse, that took place of the original, was built in 1966.

Update:
It has come out that they are not all Belgians. One is from Holland, one from the United States, and one from Belgium. And yes, drinking was involved. Latest news is that they are free but can’t leave the province or country. Again….when you drink too much, please, go back to your room and sleep. Everyone has a good time, you don’t have to wake up feeling guilty for something stupid you did. Hey, I know what it’s like, you get a good buzz going, think you can accomplish anything, think you are invincible, think you’ll have a funny story to tell everyone back home, but it doesn’t always end that way. Don’t chance it. Story Here

When touring a country, any country….

Enjoy the food
See the sites
Take some pictures
Buy some touristy stuff
Make new friends
Kick back and have a few beers at a bar or nightclub
Then go back to your room and sleep.

Whatever you do, don’t attempt to steal a symbol of that country’s national pride. Especially around the 25th anniversary of a touchy subject.

Three Tourists Steal National and Provincial Flags In Ushuaia [In Spanish]

Three from England were caught doing it a couple years ago-they even went so far as to dump it into a trash bin- and were sentenced to jail for a year. You might get lucky like this guy who had many chances for freedom, four times in 10 days, but continued his robbing spree shortly after each release. Maybe he won’t be so lucky this time but who knows.
