Lake Te Anau defines the boundary of two very different countrysides: to the east are the relatively flat, pastoral areas of central Southland, while immediately west across the lake lie the rugged forested mountains of Fiordland. NZ’s second-largest lake, Te Anau was gouged out by a huge glacier, and has several arms that penetrate into the mountainous forested western shore. Its deep too – it’s deepest point is 417m, or about twice the depth of Loch Ness, so take that, Nessie.
