π¨ποΈ Paint the Eighth Wonder of the World β Milford Sound and Mitre Peak in Fiordland
The towering pyramid of Mitre Peak rising 1,692 metres straight out of glass-still black water. Vertical cliffs of dense emerald rainforest plunging into the fjord on both sides. Silver waterfalls streaming down the walls. A small boat drifting in the mirror. And a burning gold sky pouring over the summit. Rudyard Kipling called Milford Sound "the eighth wonder of the world." Standing here at golden hour, no one has ever argued. And it is your painting.
Board the boat. Feel the fjord open up around you. Let the brush find the gold. Paint it on your iPad or print it and paint on canvas β both are included.

β¨ A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
Milford Sound β known in MΔori as Piopiotahi, "a single Piopio bird" β sits deep inside Fiordland National Park on the southwestern coast of New Zealand's South Island. Fiordland covers 12,607 square kilometres and is the largest of New Zealand's 13 national parks, part of the wider Te Wahipounamu UNESCO World Heritage Site declared in 1990. The fjords were carved out of solid granite by massive glaciers over the last two million years β Milford Sound itself is 15 kilometres long and reaches a depth of 291 metres, with cliffs on either side rising up to 1,200 metres straight out of the water. MΔori legend tells that the fjords were shaped by the demigod TΕ«-te-raki-whΔnoa, who used a magical adze called Te Hamo to cut the coastline into its jagged shape β starting rough in the south and getting more elegant by the time he reached Milford, which he cut most beautifully of all. Piopiotahi remained hidden from European sailors for centuries because its narrow entrance is nearly invisible from the open sea. Captain Cook sailed past it three times in 1770 and 1773 without ever noticing it was there. It was finally entered by Welsh sealer John Grono in 1812, who named it after his home in Milford Haven, Wales. Milford Sound receives roughly 6.4 metres of rain a year, making it one of the wettest inhabited places on Earth β and after every heavy rain, hundreds of temporary waterfalls stream down the cliffs, some over 1,000 metres tall. On a rare clear day at golden hour, Mitre Peak catches the sun and the whole fjord glows. Kipling wasn't wrong.
