The Glaciers

The Franz Josef Glacier
The terminal point at the Fox Glacier

Glaciers from a distance


Our campground for the night - Gillespie Beach



Haast Pass, on our way to the glaciers

Coming live and direct from the glaciers on the west coast. This morning we took a walk to the terminal point (=where the ice begins) of the Fox Glacier; a few moments ago we tried to do the same thing at the Franz Josef Glacier but there has been some rain so the flooding was too violent. We had to enjoy the view from a distance and you guys have to enjoy the view from your computer screens.
