Et bien j’ai eu l’ooportunite de voyager un jour sur un autre Fjord appele Doubtful Sound qui est deux foix plus grand que Milford Sound, environ 40,4Km et 421 metres de profondeur le faisant le plus profond des Fjords.
Pour y acceder, cela prend 1 jour car vous devez dans un premier temps prendre un premier bateauet naviguer le Lac Manapouri qui est le second lac le plus profond de Nouvelle Zelande, contient 33 iles au total et a ete forme par glacier, vous prenez un premiere claque dans la tete !! Ensuite vous en prenez une deuxieme en voyage sur terre ferme en bus qui vous envois un apercu de Doubtful Sound et seulement apres vous naviguez sur le Fjord pendant 3h qui vous assome pour de bon !
Doubtful Sound etait nomme Doubtful Harbour' en 1770 par Captain Cook,. Il n’y s’est pas aventure car il etait incertain que cela soit navigable en voilier. Le Fjord etait renomme par la suite Doubtful Sound les chasseurs de baleine et de phoque,.
Compare a Milford Sound, il n’y a personne y vivant ou habitant avec exception les dauphins, penguins, phoques et autres especes sauvages.... mais attendez une minute !!! C’est ce que je suis en train de devenir, couvert de mousse et fougers en restant ici !!
As you might have read previously on my blog, I am currently staying and working in Milford Sound part of the Fiordland National park an area of 12,120 square kilometres and also part of the 14 Fjord in this National park.
Well I got the opportunity to travel 1 day through another one called Doubtful Sound which is twice longer than Milford Sound, around 40.4 kilometres and 421 metres deep making it the deepest of the fiords.
To go there it takes a full day as you have to get a first boat and cruise onto Manapouri lake New Zealand’ssecond deepest lake measuring 444 metres, contains 33 islands in total and was formed by glacier, you get a first slap into your face with scenery. Then you get a second slap by getting a ride by bus and having a first view of the Fjord and only then you cruise onto the doubtful for 3h and you get knocked out!!
Doubtful Sound was named 'Doubtful Harbour' in 1770 by Captain Cook, who did not enter the inlet as he was uncertain whether it was navigable under sail. It was later renamed Doubtful Sound by whalers and sealers, although it is not technically a sound but a fiord.
Compared to Milford Sound there is no one living there except dolphins, penguins, seals and all other wild life…. but wait a sec!!! This is what I am becoming, full of moss and ferns by staying here!!!
