Who is the fairest?
21 January 2008 | Fjordland
Warm, muggy but clear
The Milford Highway runs through the Fjordland World Park from Ta Anau to Milford Sound. The route itself is recognised in the World Heritage site listing, and is stunning. Along the way, we stopped at the Mirror Lakes, famous for their reflections of the surrounding mountains.
Boring moment. These are oxbow lakes formed by the meanders in the river, which then got detached from the main flow by the build up of silt. Because they are so small there is little wind disturbance, and the water is full of organic matter, making it dense and reflective.
