![]() The Marlborough Sounds are an extensive network of sea-drowned valleys created by a combination of land subsidence and rising sea levels 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 ( Mount Cook ). The Marlborough Sounds are connected to the Cook Strait where the North Island is at its closest to the South Island. The inter-island road, rail and passenger ferry service between Picton and Wellington travels through the Sounds. |
