Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour.
Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer?
On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.
I would choose a helicopter because even though taking a boat seemed pretty appealing, I've never been in a helicopter before and I'd imagine that it'd be a lot of fun. Looking at the world from above seems really entertaining because sometimes people can't see some things properly from below.
Hi again Alex,
ReplyDeleteWell done for completing this activity. I finished this activity too. It's great to see you completing these activities during these summer holidays. Thanks for sharing your learning about this activity. Did you enjoy doing this task? Why? The images for this activity is great. I love the transportation idea that you have chosen. It's great to hear that you want to try a helicopter out, because you haven't been on one. That is something great. You have stated great ideas for why you want to go on this helicopter. I chose a different transport.
NICE:)
Hello Alex,
ReplyDeleteI'm Evelyn and I am working with the Summer Learning Journey team for 2018-2019 to read and follow amazing blog posts like yours! I am so excited to read what pops into that wonderful brain of yours and hope you are having fun on this journey!
What a great choice you have made! I have also never been in a helicopter before but I imagine it would be a magical experience to be able to see the view from above, I agree with you! We would then be able to see what the birds see everyday, how lucky are they? Helicopters rides definitely are a rare experience so it would be very wise to take the opportunity to go in one if the chance arises, yes! I would choose the same option as you.
Happy blogging,
Evelyn :)
