Fiordlands--Milford Sound

Carved by ancient glaciers, Milford Sound is one of many Fiords in Fiordlands National Park, which covers and expansive area on the southern end of the South Island.  Photos struggle to capture the scale of these formations...
Driving in.... 
Cheesin in front of our vessel 
The largest "sea-cliff" in the Southern Hemisphere--it continues in that same vertical fashion underwater
Mid-sound, note the boat for scale, this is a beastly gouge! 
Fur Seal
Dusky Dolphin


See the other boat dwarfed in the landscape? 
The captain got kicks sticking the bow of the boat under all the waterfalls
