Day 63 - Sun 10th May: Franz Josef Glacier


Check out this awesome ice cave in the glacier.
I could reel off a few facts about the glacier, here's one: the ice is so compressed that it has very little air in it. This causes certain waves of light to be refracted back to us, hence it's blue hue.

  3. There's loads more cracking FJ pics in the back catalogue too! I'll get them up on FlickR when I get back home
