Fiordland & Milford Sound Landscape Photography
Fiordland is a land of glacier-carved, ocean-flooded, west facing valleys - set within a region of the snow-capped Southern Alps, deep lakes, and prolific waterfalls.  The annual rainfall here is immense, and to capture this region in fine weather is something special.  The iconic Mitre Peak in Milford Sound, the towering waterfalls that come alive in heavy rain, and the cheeky Kea Parrots native to New Zealand, together make a rich tapestry for New Zealand landscape photography.

Some Detail about Fiordland & Milford Sound Landscape Photography

The New Zealand landscape photography locations and opportunities are endless here - hike the Routeburn Track or Milford Track for magic mountain and rainforest views, take in Marian Falls as part of the Marian hike and soak up the sunset and sunrise sensation that is Milford Sound and Mitre Peak.  Milford Sound, a UNESCO World Heritage site, that was famously described by Rudyard Kipling as the 'eighth wonder of the world'  The Sound is breath-taking in any weather - with the fiord's towering cliffs, mountainous peaks and waterfalls as high as 1000 metres. When it rains in Milford Sound, as it often does, those waterfalls multiply with magnificent effect.  To take in the magic of the location a boat trip on the sound is a must and even better, a flight over the region will leave you spell bound.  For more Fiordland action take a trip to Doubtful and/or Dusky Sounds where beautiful solitude exists far from the maddening crowds and you can experience silence and moods of light that pervade this environment.
