Fiordland

Rovigno è l'incanto architettonico del borgo marinaro d'Istria.

Sutherland Falls è la potenza incontaminata delle acque del Fiordland e Tales of Eternia Remastered è la rinascita del classico JRPG di Bandai Namco.

Cucina thailandese tra stimoli metabolici salutari e rischi nutrizionali nascosti.

Rovigno custodisce un dialogo indissolubile tra terra e mare, dove l'armonia delle pietre scolpite dalla storia veneziana riflette l'identità fiera di una comunità che ha saputo preservare il proprio respiro antico nel cuore dell'Europa contemporanea.

Sutherland Falls è la potenza incontaminata delle acque del Fiordland.

Nel cuore selvaggio del Parco Nazionale Fiordland in Nuova Zelanda, le Sutherland Falls precipitano per 580 metri regalando uno dei panorami più maestosi del pianeta.

Mm-hmm

... uh, it can fall as landslides into the lakes, and also the fjords in Fiordland.

We're doing a lot of work with local emergency management and even tourism providers in Milford to understand and make plans for when we get a big earthquake-

Mm-hmm

Con i suoi ottocentotrentasei metri Brown Falls è la cascata più alta d'Oceania, incastonata nel cuore boscoso del Fiordland.

Il gigante d'acqua è roccia del Fiordland sud-occidentale.

Nell'angolo sud-occidentale dell'isola del Sud della Nuova Zelanda, all'interno del Parco Nazionale del Fiordland inserito nel patrimonio mondiale dell'umanità dall'UNESCO, si cela Brown Falls.

Con un dislivello complessivo misurato in ottocentotrentasei metri, questo colosso idrografico si impone come la cascata più elevata dell'intera Oceania e si colloca stabilmente tra i primi dieci salti d'acqua del globo terrestre per altezza complessiva.

Il flusso nasce come emissario naturale del lago Browne, un bacino montano d'origine glaciale situato a un'altitudine di ottocentoquarantaquattro metri sul livello del mare, che scarica le sue acque gelide riversandosi nelle profondità del braccio Hall Arm all'interno del grandioso fiordo di Doubtful Sound.

Take modern New Zealand as an example.

South of the South Island, down in Fiordland, the Australian Plate is actually subducting under the Pacific Plate along the Pusega Trench.

Go north along the west coast and the situation flips.

By the time you hit the Hikurangi Margin off the North Island, the Pacific Plate is diving beneath the Australian Plate.

You're living on the ragged edge of a continent that is being pulled, twisted, and shoved by some of the most energetic plate boundaries on Earth.

Zoom in on New Zealand and its neighbours, and the clean lines on textbook plate maps start to fray.

The Pacific Plate dives beneath Zealandia along the Kermadec and Hikurangi subduction zones to the north and east, to the south along Fiordland.

the rolls reverse and the australian plate begins to sink threaded between those roughly down the spine of new zealand runs the alpine fault where the plates mostly slide past each other horizontally while also crunching together That mash-up of subduction and sideways slip is what loads the big guns, the large earthquakes.

The ancient oceanic assemblage associated with Dun Mountain is not confined to the hills around Nelson.

Related rocks occur in separated parts of the South Island, including the Livingstone Mountains and the eastern Fiordland region.

Movements on the Alpine Fault have displaced parts of the geological belt by hundreds of kilometers.

Other deformation has broken and rearranged the rocks further.

It was a zone in which rocks had reacted, moved, and broken.

Farther into the southern story, the Eglinton Valley and Countess Range emerge as important places.

Geological accounts connect the hydrogrossular pebbles at Orepuki with rhodingite in this eastern Fiordland source region.

There is a limit to what that connection can tell us.

Towns such as Kromarty and Te Oneroa were cut into the bush.

But every person, load of food, piece of machinery and consignment of ore had to move through a wet, isolated landscape at the edge of Fiordland.

The cost of reaching and working the gold was inseparable from its value.

By the early twentieth century, the boom had largely passed, leaving tracks, batteries, and other remains in the forest.

Whoever first recognized those pieces remains unnamed in the sources we have followed.

Twenty-five years later, the geological account accompanying the Fjordland regional map gave the occurrence a more definite place.

It recorded amazonite in loose material in the Upper Lille burn catchments, derived from pegmatite dikes.

A pegmatite is a very coarse-grained rock.

The specimen pictured by Grapes brings us back to a particular river junction.

Falloon's collection shows that the record is still being added to.

Fjordland extends the story south, into catchments where the mineral had been reported long before the modern photograph from the coast was published.

None of that requires every green stone to be Amazonite.

Um, kākāpō, of course.

One Fiordland kākāpō left after all those, uh, millennia when they were, um, ac- striding across the forests of New Zealand, plus a f- um, a handful in Stewart Island, which became the, um, uh, the core of the current recovery of kākāpō, which we talked about a few weeks ago.

So wetapunga down to probably just under hundred insects, um, on Little Barrier Island.

DOC alarmed by this and, uh, decided a captive recovery, uh, breeding program, captive breeding program was going to be necessary.

Oh, man.

So many places in Fiordland.

Um- I just love how...

Oh, I did a really cool trip, a traverse of the Dark Cloud Range in Southern Fiordland.

And just this experience of looking out and knowing that there's nothing, you know, human-made, but just, like, kilometers and kilometers is...

I just love that so much.

Wow.

And was this...
