1. THE GLACIER ENVIRONMENT
OF MILFORD SOUND
PHOTO STUDY

2. Other crevices in the rock. If affected by hydraulic
action, the air in the rock is compressed and can
determine the collapse of the boulder.
Crevices in the rock (headland). If affected
by freeze-thaw erosion can also determine the
collapse of the exterior boulder. In Milford
Sound, average depth of water is 150-160m.
Shrubs and small vegetation, lichens
and algae covering the headland.

3. V-shaped valley formed by hydraulic
action, erosion, physical and
chemical weathering.
