We have over 200 glaciers in NZ but all are shrinking every year. Back in 2008 Jill and I visited some of them including this one, the Fox Glacier. To give an idea of scale see the tiny people just under the front of the glacier within the marked area.

Amazing, wonder what this world will look like in a thousand years.

Or even a hundred Widget!

What a surprise. At least you should be able to get some sunny weather in your time. Big hug for Rosie. Take care, cheers.

My son and family on the same glacier in December 2009 :-)

Some very impressive glaciers Penny. Hope they enjoyed their time here.

Thanks ciderman, I had forgotten about their visit also the fact they went to the top by helicopter. cheers.
