From Queenstown we made the 5 hour drive to Franz Joseph. We made stops along the way for the many short walks to waterfalls, which are in abundance in NZ.
Eric is adding his contribution to the live art.
Once we arrived in Franz Joseph, we felt the immediate need to hike up to the glacier base.
It is hard to appreciate from these pictures, but it is stunning how much the glacier is receding, and how quickly!
The following day we decided to visit Fox Glacier. The weather and clouds did not completely cooperate, but we were able to hike somewhat close to it.
We then hiked around Lake Matheson, which was stunningly beautiful.
The next morning, just as we were about to leave town, Franz Joseph glacier decided to show itself to us from amongst the clouds for a brief moment.
