You will find thousands of stunning pictures of Milford Sound online. But not even the professional ones can adequately capture the majesty of the landscape or the clarity of the air; or those so many shades of blue and green the water on the fjord can have.

You really have to go there to see it, even if that usually means many hours of flying and a fairly major investment.
