Milford Sound in Fiordland, South Island, New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Milford Sound, also known as Piopiotahi in Maori, is located in the south west of New Zealand's South Island. Although called Milford Sound, it is more accurately classified as a fjord. Milford Sound, likely the most famous tourist site of the South Island, is situated within the Fiordland National Park which is in turn part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. Milford Sound is named for Milford Haven in Wales, and the Cleddau River which flows into it is similarly named for its Welsh namesake. The Maori name for the sound, Piopiotahi, means first native thrush.
