| Downtown Franz Josef |
Franz Josef and Fox glaciers are two of only three temperate-zone glaciers at sea level in the world. Gold miners of the last century settled this area first.
Today's hike took us to the terminus of Franz Josef. First time seeing a glacier for James.

The Southern Alps that house these glaciers are a young 2 million years old.
One unique characterist of this west coast region are its one-way bridges that are often shared with the railroad.
