Search efforts for a missing tramper in Milford Sound are set to resume today.
After weather prevented search teams deploying yesterday, staff spent the day planning for further search efforts, beginning today.
Police are maintaining a positive outlook as search efforts continue.
Approximately 40 staff and volunteers are working in the Milford Sound area.
There is a large-scale air and ground search effort 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.
Our search efforts continue to be greatly supported by Southern Lakes Helicopters, Heliworks Queenstown and Real NZ.
