This is me sitting in front of the Franz Josef glacier hoping it wont crumble down behind me...it is quite scary to hear a big mass of ice drop from it and crash into one of the glacial streams running off it....im happy to be a safe distance away...

...a view of the Fox Glacier (as in Fox's Glacier Mints/Fruits) from a nearby lake...i think it was almost a perfect reflection....HOW beautiful :o)


And this was a church near the Franz Josef which instead of stained glass had a much more appropriate glass window behind the altar to see out to the glacier. Genius.
