\u00a0Prosperity during the wool-boom allowed people to built some fairly impressive homes and mansions. \u00a0It is a relaxed and friendly place. \u00a0This tiny city is also known as the entry to Antartica. \u00a0It is surrounded by almost impenetrable forests, impassable mountains, and endless fields of ice. \u00a0It also happens to have one of the most unique cemeteries I&#8217;ve ever seen.
