About Fiordland National Park
Fiordland, as the name suggests, is home to several fiords — steep-sided inlets carved by glaciers during the last ice age, then later drowned by the rising sea.

Although the park has about 500 km of formed walking tracks, these are mostly confined to eastern and northern parts of the park. Like all of New Zealand's national parks, it is managed by theDepartment of Conservation(DOC). The department aims to allow the public to enjoy the park, while also preserving the environment. There are relatively few restrictions on access by individual visitors, though commercial activity is carefully (some might say strictly) controlled. The main visitor information centre is in the township ofTe Anau. There are park ranger
