Touring Milford Sound in a Sail Ship April 2, 2012 f/5.6 1/800 second |
| The now very popular Milford Sound wasn't discovered until 1812 when Captain John Grono, a sealer, sought refuge from a storm. The famous explorer, Captain Cook, sailed right past its obscure entrance (pictured above) three times. Though dubbed "Milford Sound" it technically isn't a "sound" at all, but a "fiord". Sounds are created by the sea, fiords are created by glaciers, and are deeper and more narrow. |
