Pelorus Sound
Pelorus Sound is a long drowned valley in the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand.
Located close to, and connected with, Cook Strait at the northeasten end of the South Island, Pelorus Sound is one of the longest of the Marlborough Sounds. It winds southwards from the strait for 35 kilometres between steeply sloped wooded hills. Its southern end is close to the town of Havelock, 30 kilometres northwest of Blenheim, New Zealand.
Pelorus Sound has several major arms, notably Tawhitinui Reach and Kenepuru Sound.
