Milford Sound is one of the most beautiful places on earth in my opinion and is located in Fiordland, New Zealand.
Milford Sound is a fjord where the mountains literal come straight out of the sea.
The mountain on the left is Mitre Peak and is 1692m high and to the right is The Lion and Mt Pembroke which features a permanent glacier on it.

A winters afternoon at Milford Sound.
Looking in the other direction. I'm not sure of the name of this mountain.
A cabbage tree (Cordyline australis) also known as ti kouka in maori. This is a common monocot tree in New Zealand.
The weather is very changeable at Milford Sound, with an average of 7 metres of rain a year it is one of the wettest places on earth.
Milford Sound has inspired me to paint it on many occasions as seen in the oil painting below
