A few more more pics from my Doubtful Sound trip. For those of you wondering why they call them sounds but they're really fiords. Geographically speaking they are glacier carved valleys leading to the ocean. In the first photo you can see down to the sound. At only half to around a mile wide. But around 15 miles long. And the amazing thing is at that only half a mile wide its over a 1000 feet deep. As steep as the mountains go UP it goes DOWN. Pretty cool. The two photos in middle kinda show the boat. My four bunk room, and the dining room. And the last photo is a shack on shore where the fisherman store their catch for awhile. They call them crayfish, but they are lobster to us Americans. They off-load them at this shack and keep fishing. Then pick them all up on the way to port. Pretty neat I thought.
