Milford Sound


The mountains popping out of the sea here should more correctly be called fjords because they were carved by glaciers rather than old flooded river valleys like Marlborough Sounds. Being carved by a glacier the sides of the moutains were extremely steep but still had trees clinging on and waterfalls popping out everywhere. The cliffs were gigantic, again scale is deceptive here, but some of the cliffs were twice the height of the Empire States Building.
