Franz Joseph Glacier


On the west coast of the South Island, a forty-five minute walk puts you (and a horde of other tourists) at the toe of Franz Joseph Glacier. Photos don't do its scale justice... 
The first view coming out of the trees (not the people in the lower right)
Ice extended to where those people are walking 50 short years ago. Something is changing...  


A VW Bug sized chunk of ice heading downriver
People climbing the slope in the right...
...disappear at a distance
Family Fun
