Queenstown-Franz Joseph; Sunday, November 19.
Today was a long drive, from Queenstown to the Franz Joseph Glacier.
We did get a great view back towards Queenstown from the mountains.
And took a couple of pictures of the Franz Joseph Glacier
It seems very odd to have a glacier down in the temperate rainforest, but it is because a vast icefield up at the top is feeding down a very narrow valley, it is deep and moves fast, so that it stays frozen.
