NZ Fjordlands Milford Sound

Milford Sound runs 15 kilometres inland from the Tasman Sea at Dale Point. It is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 1,200 metres or more on either side. Milford Sound sports two permanent waterfalls, Lady Bowen Falls and Stirling Falls. After heavy rain temporary waterfalls can be seen running down the steep sided rock faces that line the fiord. They are fed by rain water drenched moss and will last a few days at most once the rain stops.
