Fox Glacier, 2014

There are two glaciers coming down from Mt. Cook and environs to the west coast, the Franz Jozef glacier and the Fox glacier. We spent the night in Fox glacier village, then visited the glacier the next morning. We had visited it before in 2009, and this time were impressed with how much it has skrunk in these five year...completely around a corner of the canyon.

Looking across the canyon; this is a glacier in full retreat!

Five years ago it would have been right in the center of this

Remnant

Still enough for professionally-guided tours
