Description
This impressive journey starts deep in the south of the country, in the largest and probably the most beautiful national park of New Zealand: Fjordland. A long time ago glaciers dug huge ravines and valleys into the land, later they filled with water, this was how the 14 imposing fjords were born. Dense forests cover the mountains where one finds hardly tracks, the only access is by helicopter. We can watch pilots operating the different services, from ambulance transports to catching deer. This is one of the areas with the highest precipitation in the world and after every downfall one can see hundreds of short-time waterfalls on the steep cliffs. Nature is in constant movement, impenetrable and mystical.
