Franz Josef Glaciers

We woke up fairly early today. It was still a little cold but the rain had stopped thankfully. We needed to be back up at Picton in 2 days so we needed to get a move on. We had a quick breakfast stop over looking the coast then drove until we reached Fox Glacier. On we reached Fox Glacier we drove down Glacier View Road where we took a short 20 minute walk and ended up at the end of the path were you could see an opening of several Glaciers with ice all over them. Several tracks where closed unfortunatley so we were unable to get down to the bottom. After we got back to the car we drove to Lake Mueller where there was another spectacular view of the Glaciers. We parked the car and walked along the scenic track to a look out which was over looking the Lake and Glaciers.Read more
