Search efforts for a missing tramper in New Zealand’s Milford Sound are set to resume.
After the weather prevented search teams from deploying yesterday, staff spent the day planning for further search efforts, beginning today.
Police are maintaining a positive outlook as search efforts continue. Roughly 40 staff and volunteers are working in the Milford Sound area.
A large-scale air and ground search effort is planned for the coming days, and we would like to acknowledge everybody assisting with the search.
Land Search and Rescue teams from across the southern region are working with a Dunedin-based LandSAR search dog, members of the Wakatipu Alpine Cliff Rescue team, the Dunedin LandSAR Cliff Rescue team and the Otago Surf Life Saving Club and the Southland Amateur Radio Club.
