Milford Fjord

Milford Fjord is the largest and most famous fjord in New Zealand Fjord National Park. The river extends 22 kilometers inland. The water surface of the fjord intersects the cliff vertically, and the glacier is cut into a V-shaped section. After the canyon sinks, it forms the present landscape. In almost all mountain streams, large and small waterfalls can be seen. On the cliffs, large and small waterfalls are tingling or roaring, forming a beautiful natural symphony. The most famous waterfall is Sutherland Falls, which is located on the Miford Fjord with a total drop of 580 meters, ranking the first in the world. Rowing in this fjord, you can see mountains surrounded by cliffs, waterfalls, flowing springs, and glaciers, which give you infinite beauty. The 14 fjords on the west coast have a total length of 44 kilometers and a maximum depth of 500 meters. The fjord on the south coast is longer, the estuary is wider, and there are many islands distributed among it. The scenery is beautiful, which can not help but amaze the nature! It is no wonder that British writer Gipling called it "the eighth wonder of the world". There are bottlenose dolphins, New Zealand fur seals and fjord crested penguins living in Milford Fjord, and a large number of young seals often gather on the seal horn. On a calm day in Milford Fjord, the sea will reflect the magnificent Mattel Peak.
