Low on the horizon from Ushuaia
These clear the horizon but stay low, so trees and buildings may hide them: Pegasus (~15°, northern) · Canis Major (~10°, south-eastern) · Orion (~5°, eastern).
Out of reach from Ushuaia
At Ushuaia's latitude these never climb above the horizon, so you can't see them from here at any time of year: Taurus, Lyra, Andromeda, Boötes, Cygnus, Perseus, Leo, Cassiopeia, Gemini, Ursa Major. To catch them, you'd need to travel toward the Northern Hemisphere.
