A few days ago I went on an overnight cruise in the Doubtful Sound, an inlet body of water that comes into NZ from the Tasman Sea. The name of the area the Doubtful Sound is located in is called Fiordland, a fiord is "is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created in a valley carved by glacial activity." There are fiords in Alaska, Norway, Chile, the Puget Sound, Iceland, and New Zealand. The cruise was incredible, the whole time we were passing under towering cliffs and waterfalls; the scenery was stunning. We also saw some seals, dolphins, and one of the rarest types of penguins on earth, the Fiordland Crested Penguin (the ones with yellow feathers above their eyes). Out of all the places I've been to on this trip, the Doubtful Sound was the most beautiful. Here are some pictures:
