Fox Glacier

Photobucket

There are 2 glaciers at Franz Josef, the Franz Josef glacier and the Fox Glacier. We visited the Fox Glacier which has an easier pathway for children and the elderly to walk.

From the car park, it is a 30 minutes’ walk (along a marked pathway which is rather rocky) to the bottom of the glacier.

It is very cold and windy here so it is a good idea to wear a windbreaker. The view is magnificent – a river of solid ice…wow!
