Ice Ice Baby

From Greymouth I drove 3 hours south to Fox Glacier.

I'd booked myself on to a half-day guided glacier walk up on to Fox Glacier. The guided walk was really interesting – bits of my A-level geography brought to life.

We walked up by the terminal face of the glacier and then had about an hours 'ice time'. I was able to take lots of pictures, but just as we had the opportunity to go in a magnificently blue ice cave the battery in my camera gave up the ghost!

We were quite lucky with the weather. It was generally sunny when we were on the ice and we were back waiting for the bus to return us to Fox Glacier town when the clouds start to roll in and there were a few spots of rain.
