A February boat trip of Milford Sound. This was an awe inspiring experience. The sheer scope and magnitude of the geological forces at play in this region are evident. Glaciation, oceanic activity, earthquakes and climate have done little to alter these granite peaks over the eons. This particular portion of south west New Zealand is home to a dozen similar sounds, inlets, lakes and broken mountains. It would take a life time to explore and truly appreciate.
It is difficult to imagine, but...the water in places, is deeper then the height of the peaks. Nearing two thousand feet deep, this is the deepest water in New Zealand.
