FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER

We arrived in Franz Josef late in the afternoon after dawdling along the way. The sun was starting to set as we booked into the YHA, so there wasn't too many oportunities for photo's. However the next morning dawned bright and clear, so we took a walk to the Glacier observation platform to take a few pictures before we headed off to Okarito
