Issue information

Mitre Peak is truly one of New Zealand's finest landmarks, and has appeared five times on New Zealand stamps in the past 100 years, not surprising for it is truly one of the country's great landmarks. It rises abruptly to 1695 metres out of the deep black waters of Milford Sound in the heart of Fiordland National Park. The park is a land of ice age-created fiords, mountains, rainforest, waterfalls, lakes and rivers in the south-west corner of the South Island.
