SC212 - Storytelling - Part 5: Your story

SC212 - Storytelling - Part 5: Your story- Post 30 August
One of our most amazing experiences to see the vast wilderness of Doubtful Sound, the second largest fiord in Fiordland National Park, remote and magnificent.

1. Who is the story about? (Subject)
People (including us) and place, on a cruise in New Zealand’s Fiordland.
2. Where is it happening? (Context)
Doubtful Sound
3. What is happening right now? (Moment)
Cruising through the magnificent scenery.
4. Why should someone care? (Emotion)
In awe of nature, and the wonderful remote places on our planet.

On board Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas cruise to New Zealand 8-17 December 2019, including Wellington, Picton, Dunedin, Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds.

At 421 metres deep, Doubtful is the deepest of the fiords and is long and winding with three distinct 'arms' and several outstanding waterfalls in the area from Deep Cove to the open ocean, a distance of around 40.4 kilometres.
Fiordland National Park is one of New Zealand's treasured natural icons and is internationally recognised as part of the wider UNESCO World Heritage site, Te Wāhipounamu (Place of the Greenstone). It is home to glaciers, alpine ranges, and unique flora and fauna since New Zealand was part of the supercontinent Gondwanaland.
Fiordland National Park covers 1.2 million hectares of mountain, lake, fiord and rainforest environments and is administered by the Department of Conservation.
Human activity within Fiordland has been limited because of its challenging and wild landscapes. www.fiordland.org.nz/visit/fiordland-national-park
