It shows the uncanny workmanship of nature, which is quiet, pleasant, mysterious, and wonderful, and has not been affected by modern society. 1. The name of the fjord comes from Captain Cook Because the fjord was narrow and the boat was very dangerous, Captain James Cook did not sail into the harbor at that time. Later, when they arrived there, hunters who killed whales and seals called it Doubtful Sound. Like other fjords in the region, the waters of the magic fjord are divided into two distinct layers. The top few meters are freshwater flowing from the surrounding mountains, and the bottom is salt water from the sea. Because the refractive index of fresh water and seawater is different, it is difficult for light to shine in. Therefore, many deep-sea species, such as black corals, grow in relatively shallow places. 2.
