Reflections at Piopiotahi

by Martin Mergili, University of Graz, Graz, Austria

Low tide at the inner shores of the Milford Sound (Piopiotahi) in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park. The scene pictures a fine and calm Saturday morning where Mitre Peak (1683 m - left side) and the still glacierized Mt. Pembroke (2015 m - right background), sharply rising above the fiord scoured by the Pleistocene glaciers, reflect in a tidal pool.
