Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers: mint...

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

We decided to check out both of the west coast glaciers, just because we could really. They are pretty similar, to be fair, but both are mad. We walked up to the "terminal" (bottom bit) of the Franz Josef glacier, and we took a half-day guided walk on the Fox glacier. You can't walk on them unguided, sadly.


This is Faye apparently about to be swallowed whole by the Franz Josef glacier


It can't scare me though, rargh


Actually ice-borne (?) on the Fox glacier, a bit perturbed by strange gurgling and rumbling noises from deep below me (deeper than normal)
