Milford Sound
was on an overcast and cold day. The
group did see some excellent scenery going to the Sound. The terrain that we traversed included
rolling plains, mountains, occasional farmlands, and even passed by a few
lakes.
The sound is
technically a fjord due to the area filled by the sea as the glacier finished
carving out the Milford area. Another
differentiation between the two is that sounds are also bigger in size compared
to fjords. The multiple waterfalls
coming down the mountains painted an excellent picture despite the weather. The wind actually made the water falling down
from the waterfall swirl.
Wildlife was
sought out during the boating experience.
We saw dolphins by our boat for a good 15 minutes or so. We also came across some seals on the rocks
of the mountain foothills.
