More huge bits of ice

Beni, Pee-sac and Jeni at the Fox Glacier


Dangerous places, these glacial valleys
(luckily we didn't fall in, with the avalanches and tidal waves)

After Greymouth, we made our way down to the glacial areas, about halfway down the west coast of south island. The weather had taken a turn and it was very wet. We reckon we missed some great scenery, because of all the low cloud.....but hey, it's winter here, so I guess it can't be sunny all the time. We took a visit to see the glaciers....which were very impressive, but not as good as Patagonia (sorry NZ). After we had been to the Fox Glacier, the rain came back on (in buckets) so we decided to press on, further South, to Wanaka
