Fox Glacier

The Fox Glacier trail was closed when we arrived on account of overnight washouts due to a big surge of water being released from the glacier.

This is one big glacier!

The car park was built by pushing some rock and gravel up to form an island in the outflow from the glacier.

The small orange dot is a worker trying to reestablish the trail.

This little parrot is a menace to cars.  He eats rubber gaskets.

 

The band on his foot indicates that he is well known to the New Zealand authorities.
