Iceblocks

Higher up the glacier is much cleaner and glistened in the sunshine.

Would You Like Ice With That?

If only I had a glass of whisky. James and I  both had a bite. It was very refreshing if a bit gritty. James thought it was funny that we 'ate a glacier'.

Iceberg

This boulder of ice bounced down the river as we ate lunch.

Blue Ice

The blue ice is streaked with dark layers of rock.

Ice Cave

At the terminus of the glacier is a large ice cave. We had our picnic next to the river and saw several small icebergs float by.

Franz Josef

The glacier tumbles down the valley and then continues as a river.

We went for a walk to view the Franz Josef glacier. This is an easy walk with lots to see. James got lots of geology lessons on the way.
