From the towering granite cliffs sculpted by glaciers over millions of years to lush rainforests teeming with unique species, this documentary reveals the dramatic landscapes and hidden wonders that make Fiordland one of the planet’s last true wildernesses. You’ll witness daring canyon descents, the return of endangered birds like the kakapo and saddleback, and the relentless battle against invasive predators and natural forces like avalanches.
