Glaciers formed this lake, which has a length of almost thirty kilometres and is more than four hundred forty metres deep.

In addition to that, you can find thirty-three islands in the lake, which is also a very popular tourist destination. It is also a perfect starting point to discover Fiordland National Park. This park covers the whole south west corner of the South Island, and thanks to its natural beauty it is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
