FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER

Campervan at Mountain View

Feeding Parsley the Goose

Heli Hike

Flying towards the glacier

Moving in and up

Nearly at the top

Still flying

Landing soon

Getting ready for the hike

Crevasse

Not so sure

The guide is leading the way

Another crevasse

Jason the guide preparing the path

Crawling through another tunnel

And slippery it was

Together in the cave

Jason still leading the way

Hello, Here I am

The clouds are moving in

I am still having fun

A sunny spot at the top

Mother Nature at her best

A world of peaks and domes

Shall I leave them here?

It's getting a bit narrow up here

Mind your steps

Crawling out of the cave

It's so slippery!

Walking through the archway

And some places get very narrow

The trip is coming to an end

Taking off the ice talons

The heli is coming in to land

The heli to pick us up

The clouds are really closing in

Looking down towards the township

The return trip in the heli

THE DRIVE TO PICTON

Cleaning the windscreen

Sharing the road with cattle

And it's a long long line

Not keen to stay off the road

Through the rainforest

A tree full of lychen

A restored loc

Ever changing scenery

Gorse and NZ flax

Wherever this was

The Tasman near Punakaiki

Tree ferns along the road

The Tasman in the rain

Between Greymouth and Westport

On the way to Punakaiki

More Gorse and NZ flax

Frans relaxing in the sun

South Island in the distance
