More Tips on Westland Tai Poutini National Park from Travelers
Franz Josef Glacier
- Seeing this glacier was awesome, but I was more impressed at how much it had retreated -and just how quickly that had happened! Sadly, you can no longer hike up to the glacier and this photo had to be taken from over 750m away. In 2008, standing in that same spot, I would have been *on* the glacier. Glaciers come and go naturally, but they are especially sensitive to change and our climate reality looks a little bleak. We can do better :)
