Lake Te Anau-Worsley Arm - a photo on Flickriver

Lake Te Anau-Worsley Arm

            Lake Te Anau is in the southwestern corner of the South Island of New Zealand. Its name was originally Te Ana-au, Maori for 'The cave of swirling water'. The lake covers an area of 344 km², making it the second-largest lake by surface area in New Zealand (after Lake Taupo) and the largest in the South Island. Lake Te Anau is however the largest lake in Australasia by fresh water volume. Most of the lake is within Fiordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. The Milford Track starts at the northern tip of the lake.
        The photo is looking into Worseley arm of Lake Te Anau which was named after New Zealander Frank Worsley who captained the Endurance during Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. But he is best remembered for navigating the expedition party to safety after the Endurance was crushed by ice floes in the Weddell Sea. Worsley also took part in Shackleton's final expedition to the Antarctic in 1922.
