Milford Sound

After completing the Kepler Track, I visited the famous Milford Sound in Fiordland. This area is the most rugged and remote in New Zealand. The southwest coast of the South Island is puncuated by a series of huge fiords carved out during the last ice age. Milford is the most famous because it is the steepest and narrowest. Some of the mountains rise almost vertically out of the ocean to an altitude of one mile. This picture is of the entrance of the sound from the Tasman Sea. Those peaks are at the same altitude as Denver, but directly on the ocean.
