Fiordland - view of the mountains by Mark Sukhija

Fiordland - view of the mountains

This was the marvellous view I had on a scenic flight to and from Milford Sounds on the South Island of New Zealnd.

The peaks of the mountains and the cloud filled valleys give an excellent impression of what this are might have once looked like when it was being formed by glacial action.

This is what The Godzone looks like.
