Fox Glacier, West Coast Region, New Zealand. February 2016.
Quite something to see the sign on the road leading up to the car park indicating where it reached in 1790. It's now retreated a l-o-n-g way. It's still quite a hike from the car park.

After we visited the Franz Josef Glacier, we took a walk to Lake Wombat. It drizzled a bit on that walk, and by the time we were done, it was time for some lunch.

After lunch, the weather set in, so we spent some time inside. When the rain stopped we decided to head down to Fox Glacier.

You can't see it from the walk anymore, but there's a viewing spot 10km from it, and when we arrived a handy hole in the clouds had formed to see the glacier.

Bruce Bay - Stefan Tiesing Photography

Eine raue Küste, dem Wetter ausgesetzt, mit einer wichtigen Regel für Bäume: An der Bruce Bay ist der Platz in der ersten Reihe ein besonders gefährlicher ;-)
