Then onto some serious stuff, the Fox's and Frans Josef Glaciers. Here's a picture of Fox's Glacier, one of the closest glaciers to the rainforest floor and then the sea. Seven other glaciers contribute to it's journey down the southern Alps, and we got within about 50m of the face (or terminal). Ice at the face joined the top of the glacier as snow FIVE years ago! Truly awesome...
