Default New Zealand


Mirrored in the glassy waters of Milford Sound at twilight, rock formations give rise to sheer cliff walls that climb as high as 5,600 feet (1,700 meters) and plummet deep into the fjord.


Rock formations jut into watery Kaikoura Canyon, home to the famed giant squid. Rarely seen, giant squid are prey to sperm whales.



Merino sheep, prized for their fine wool, cloak Alpine foothills. The first sheep in New Zealand arrived courtesy of Capt. James Cook in 1773. They now outnumber humans in New Zealand by a ratio of 12 to 1.




As if showing the way, Kaikoura Peninsula points toward deep waters. Over the past 125,000 years tectonic forces have lifted beaches here to form the peninsula�s green hills.
