Franz Josef Glacier, West Coast Region, New Zealand. February 2016.
There's a sign along the walk that shows where it stretched to in 2009 (Recent photos shows it has retreated further back 😒)

Now I'm home, and can process the big camera photos properly (as opposed to on a phone). Here are a few views of the Franz Josef Glacier, on a cold, occasionally wet morning last week.

Pre-dinner walk around Franz Josef village since the rain stopped and there was a hint of sun occasionally.

Went for a walk this morning to check out the Franz Josef glacier.

Hike at Roberts Point to see what's left of Franz Josef Glacier. Could have been a nice hike if there were not more helicopters than sandflies.
A continuous noise of pollution and nature destruction that ruins the day of all the people not in deny regarding climate change.
I see mountains as the most sacred things on Earth. Glaciers like ancient spirits, ice giants for who time pass slower than us, massive pieces of history that we should respect, fear and protect. Being in places like Franz Josef or Fox Glacier, so dedicated to their destruction, just break my heart.

Chilling in a #spa in #newzealand drinking a goblini**. Waiting for Lord of the Rings to download.

This country is rad.
