MARLBOROUGH SOUNDS

Marlborough Sounds

Lately in class we have been learning about Marlborough Sounds its a bunch of islands at the top of the South island in New Zealand. I have learned there are heaps of stuff to do there like go diving, play on the tramps, camping, and much more.  In the actual place there are a lot of river valleys and hills they are made by rising sea levels and sinking ones.

  According to Maori mythology are the prows of the sunken wake of Aoraki. There are heaps of docs and its mostly quiet bays . There are many islands in the Sounds. Many are named after the people who discovered them.

 D' Urville island is named after a French explorer. Some of the islands are very important for protecting native species. Maud island is one of then this is because its the home of the Kakapo, Takahe and the Hamilton frog.
