Even on a cloudy evening the sunset illuminates the sky and landscape of South Bay situated along the Kaikoura Coast on the South Island of New Zealand.

Overlooked by the Kaikoura Mountain Range, South Bay sparks to life under a partly cloudy sky during sunset.

A famous destination in New Zealand, the Kaikoura Coast is one of the best places in the world to see Sperm Whales. They inhabit the waters which conceal a deep canyon around the South Bay area. By day, tourists take to the ocean in boats in search of the largest toothed whale then at night enjoy a surreal sunset and the atmosphere of Kaikoura.
