Rudyard Kipling was right when he called Milford Sound the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’. It is a spectacular ten mile long fiord carved out by glaciers and then eventually flooded by the Tasman Sea as the ice melted. The towering cliffs shoot straight up out of the Sound, which is up to 900 feet deep. The most famous of these landmarks is Mitre Peak soaring over a mile high straight out of the Sound.
