Return from Milford Sound






Here's the return route from Milford Sound. Again, absolutely amazing. I'd hoped that some of the pictures would indicate the vastness of the Southern Alps, but none of these really capture how they just go on forever and ever. It's like a neverending ocean of stunning mountain peaks. In that respect, this range has something I've not seen in Europe or the US. Hopefully the first two suggest how close we got to the mountains (the second by the other plane's proximity, and the first because I wasn't using a zoom on the lens--click on it to magnify the picture). A bit scary. If you look in the distance on the third pic, that gives a small hint on the endlessness of the Alps. And then that waterfall was pretty cool, too--our pilot swooped right around in that canyon so that both sides of the plane got a good look.
