Marlborough Sounds
About
The Marlborough Sounds are an extensive network of sea-drowned valleys created by a combination of land subsidence and rising sea levels[1] at the north of the South Island of New Zealand. According to Māori mythology, the sounds are the prows of the sunken waka (canoe) of Aoraki.[2]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Tory_Channel_Marlborough_Sounds.jpg/150px-Tory_Channel_Marlborough_Sounds.jpg)
