Description

This is a paperback edition of this book, which was shortlisted for the Montana NZ Book Awards in 1997.

It is a major work of regional natural history introducing a New Zealand World Heritage Area, Fiordland National Park.

In a world largely modified by humans, Fiordland is a breathing space for nature.

It is one of the planet's great wilderness areas, where monumental landscapes combine with a mosaic of miniature worlds.

Located on the southwest coast of New Zealand, much of its landscape was formed by great valleys carved out by glaciers which are now half-drowned.

Milford Sound is one of New Zealand's most remote but necessary tourist destinations, while Dusky Sound provided a home to Captain Cook's Resolution and its scientists, as well as artist William Hodges, for five weeks in 1773.

This book is for travellers, nature-lovers and scientists alike.

Other books by the same authors in this prize-winning series are Wild Central, Wild Dunedin, and Wild Rivers.
