I must say, this is one of the most beautiful and pleasant border crossing I have seen. Knowing that we were overlanding, the American side, though they do not stamp an Exit, asked if I want a seal on my passport of this location. Never say No to such questions…today, I look back at 4 booklets of my passport, I am proud that there are so many interesting stamps, which by itself is a collection! The stamps from Antarctica are and will remain, by far the BEST!
