Sutherland Falls is a waterfall near Milford Sound in New Zealand's South Island.

[citation needed] The base of Sutherland Falls is a 90-minute (return) walk from Quintin Public Shelter on the Milford Track.

[4] Sutherland Falls are visible in the background of the eagle scene in Peter Jackson's fantasy film The Hobbit.

[7] He initially claimed the falls were over 1,000 m (3,300 ft) tall, which would have made them the highest in the world by far.

[2] Lake Quill, which forms the source of the falls, was named for the first European explorer who climbed up the cliff face to find it in 1890.
