Bank machines are readily available in Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and Punta Arenas. The currency of Argentina is the peso, but you may find that U.S. dollars are accepted in the more popular tourist areas. The Chilean currency is the Chilean peso and U.S. cash is not very widely accepted here. MONEY MATTERS
The Falkland Islands and South Georgia accept the British pound, and ATMs do not exist, so bring along some cash and credit cards for making purchases. The pound is also accepted at Port Lockroy station. U.S. dollars and credit cards are accepted on board the ships.
