Fox Glacier

We had woke early to get up to Fox Glacier. We found that getting to places earlier allowed you to bet the crowds. It was a short walk up to Fox Glacier but beautiful. The mountains that were in this area actually reminded me of Japenese landscape paintings.



We were the only ones up at the glacier that morning. It was nice as well because the sun was still behind the mountain so the lighting was good for pictures.







I am always amazed by the blueness of glaciers to me the are like kryptonite, Superman beware. A view as we hiked out and the sun peered over the mountain.



We got back to the car park just as the crowds were arriving. We then went to Franz Joseph for lunch. Instead of going to the Franz Joseph glacier we decided to take a walk around one of the lakes near by. It was a nice lake and the day was pretty warm. So when we came to the waters edge I said "Nice day for a swim," but then I looked in the water and saw this....




...well maybe not.
