Doubtful Sound - view of Febrero Point, Fiordland, New Zealand

Description: View over Nee Islets towards Hares Ears and Febrero Point.
When the explorer Alessandro Malaspina, in command of a Spanish expedition, visited Doubtful Sound in 1793 he stayed only a week or so, but left behind a unique cluster of Spanish place names. They include Febrero Point (from the month of his visit – February), Bauza Island (after his cartographer) and Marcaciones Point (Observation Point)
