Today, we're in Franz Josef, where there is a glacier. It's a peculiar place, because the glaciers come down from the southern Alps, to within a few km of the sea.
We actually woke up with big plans to spend the day ice-climbing up in the glacier. That didn't work out, as the weather was so poor, so instead, we were going to just spend the day hiking. That seemed like a lot of work, so instead we had a stroll to the terminal face. Still very interesting stuff, and damn spectacular. It's so weird to walk through temperate rain forest, up to within 100m of a massive block of ice!
