5:11 - not bad on hard, but used possibilities.

The weather looks just right for glacier admiration too! Damp with wispy clouds!

11:04 Hi to all. Would love to visit there, must have been magical Rose.

9:53 but I goofed up once. Now there's a rugged trek, but what a view!

An umbrella?! Does the sun get so hot?

messed up too many times. good Maen all

mAen! 6:31. Ok, so there's some ice. Now, where did I put my bottle of whiskey?

Good mAen to everyone.
Another picture of Mid September trip to NZ ,but this time may I ask what' Fox Glacier' means??
It is nice picture ,needs some explanation .

Solved it reasonably fast.

Wagdy, a glacier is a huge mass of ice slowly flowing over a land mass, sometimes several kilometers long. A fox is a small, dog-like mammal. Fox is also a sur-name (like Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico). So, Fox Glacier is a large mass of ice named after a small animal or a person named Fox.
Perhaps someone from NZ could clarify that.

7:10
:-) In Finland is much less of ice!!!

Wagdy/HalT Fox glacier was named after a New Zealand Prime Minister William Fox. Check out http://www.glaciercountry.co.nz/glaciers.asp?id=11.

Many thanks HalT for these information and let us wait may we add some other information.

Thanks, Ed. I was pretty sure it was named for a person, just couldn't remember who. Guess I should have Googled it. :>)

Glad the picture is dated. It would be interesting to see the changes as global warming reduces its size.

It would be very interesting to visit this.

Wagdy, Ed, Chris...this pic is taken a long way from the foot of the glacier. I was there a couple of years back...so Rose has taken an approach shot, walking towards the glacier. It's awesome, especially as it has shrunk back several hundred metres leaving moraines to show its earlier position. More...

Good afternoon to all! A lot of dirt in that ice. How fast is it melting?

To Wagdy Kamel From Cairo Egypt: I have a few glacier pictures posted on my Flickr photo page from a glacier in Canada. Enjoy!

gAen all - warming up today to 67 - 80 later in the week. Hey - what is that white stuff? ha

we wanted to go to frans joseph glacier but the rain was horizontal so we tried fox glacier and the rain had almost stopped allowing us to walk up close to the end of the glacier.
they have markers showing how far the glacier has receded over the years. quite amazing.

Good maeN all. 8:33 You can feel the cold and damp....glaciers really are quite spectacular.

Aaaah! I'm melting!!

9:03

A very rugged looking place, awesome what nature can do isn't it. Well done Rose.

What a great shot again! Feel cold just looking at it. Still waiting for a cool change to come. Am sick of summer

8:44pm maEn all

I am sick of winter..maybe we should trade places!

Amazing picture from NZ. Hi Karen.

Read somewhere on the weekend that a dumb aussie and another tourist entered an ice-cave that collapsed causing all sorts of fracas. I think it was Franz Josef near Fox. But I seem to recall the report saying the glacier is advancing rapidly which is making it very unstable. Confirmation please anyone?
