We went to Fox Glacier.
A glacier is like an iceberg, but on land. Fox Glacier and it’s neighbour, Franz Josef Glacier are the only two to penetrate a rainforest. Glaciers hold the largest amount of freshwater in the world, 75%!
Glaciers cover 10% of the earths surface, back in the ice age it was 32%.
We drove to a car park where there was a track to the glacier face. The track was rough and boulder strewn towards the end of the path, on a very steep hill.
The mountain sides were littered with rocks from land slides, some of the rocks have iron in them, and have rusted bright orange.
