Hi,
A few years ago you helped me to do a school work about J Verne.
Now, my parents are owners of a ship and company of Antartic and Isla De los Estados tourism. One of the places included in the itinerary is the lighthouse at San Juan de Salvamento (a reconstruction), which Verne immortalized in his book The Lighthouse at the End of the World.
The company is working in the web design, and would like to include a book´s sentence in it.
We have the sentence in Spanish but we need it in English, if possible, with the exact words used in what you consider the best translation.
The sentence in Spanish looks like this:
"Solo parpadea alli una luz, que señala el fin del mundo".
My own translation would be:
"There is only a light blinking there, showing the end of the world"

I would be very grateful if you could help us.

Thanks a lot,

PD:in this url http://www.interpatagonia.com/paseos/isla_estados/index.html you can see the itinerary and photos of the ship in her first trip to Isla de los Estados. The visit to San Juan del Salvamento is in day 2 (dia 2)
