EspañolMilford Sound, New Zealand
Title:
Milford Sound, New Zealand
Description:
Recorded January 19, 2007. Milford Sound is a fjord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island, within Fjordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. It has been judged the world's top travel destination in an international survey, and is acclaimed as New Zealand's most famous tourist destination. Milford Sound runs 15 kilometers inland from the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 3,900 feet or more on either side. Lush rain forests cling precariously to these cliffs, while seals, penguins, and dolphins frequent the waters. Milford Sound is known as the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world. Rainfall can reach 250 mm during a span of 24 hours. The rainfall creates dozens of temporary waterfalls (as well as a number of major, more permanent ones) cascading down the cliff faces, some reaching a thousand metres in length. This video covers my visit to the area on a wet and foggy day. The video begins along Lake Te Anu and then continues at Homer Tunnel. After a brief stop at the Chasm we arrived at Milford Sound. Unfortunately we did not get to see any of the beautiful mountains surrounding the fjord due to the weather. What we did get to see were Bowen and Stirling Falls and several bottlenosed dolphins.
