In Argentina, tourist killed by falling ice in Patagonian cave

A tourist identified by local media as a Brazilian man died near Argentina's southern city of Ushuaia after being hit by a block of ice that broke off the roof of a Patagonian cave, local police said on Thursday.

The accident occurred in an off-limits area on Wednesday afternoon in the so-called Cueva de Jimbo, an area with glaciers inside the Tierra del Fuego national park, located on the outskirts of Ushuaia some 1,907 miles (3,070 kilometers) south of Buenos Aires.

Ushuaia claims to be the world's southernmost city along with neighboring Chile's Puerto Williams.
