Tasman glacier





18th Feb We walked to the Tasman glacier. This was an experience not to be missed. This glacier has in recent decades been melting from the top down and exposed rocks, boulders and lots of dirty stuff so it`s not as pretty as Fox of Franz joseph. It is however, still said to be over 600m thick in some places.
We saw some boats cruising around the floating iceburgs and they looked like ants.It`s strange to think some of that ice is thousands of years old.
