Fiordland National Park is in the southwest corner of New Zealand. It is one of the wettest places on Earth. Some areas get rain almost every single day! All that rain creates hundreds of waterfalls that pour down steep cliffs into deep waterways called fiords.

Milford Sound is the most famous fiord in the park. It was carved out by glaciers thousands of years ago. Dolphins, penguins, and fur seals swim in its dark blue waters. On land, you can find the kea, a clever green parrot that loves to play with zippers and backpacks.

Fiordland National Park is on the South Island of New Zealand. It sits in the far southwest corner of the country, surrounded by mountains and the Tasman Sea.
