Even in a country packed to the brim with majestic landscapes, Milford Sound stands out.
The sheer cliffs of the fiord rise up from the water in jagged rock triangles, lushly carpeted in bush towards the water's edge, with the supreme centerpiece of pyramid-shaped Mitre Peak - often brushed with snow on the summit - lording it up over the surrounding rock faces. The first European to see this scene was Captain Stokes who sailed into the sound upon the survey ship HMS Acheron in 1851. More: planetware.com/southland/
