BLUE ICE!

Hot off the ice!


These shots have come back from AJ (one of our senior guides) and show what's currently on offer for our Full Day Adventure visitors. He took these shots of Nick with his group heading through some amazing terrain.


There are some great features on offer at the moment, like these really blue crevasses - smiles all round! The crevasses will slowly melt out over the next few weeks until they resemble a wide valley rather than a crevasse and the guides will start looking for some other amazing features to explore.

Tasman Glacier

Really interesting article on the Tasman and the HUGE piece of ice that is about to break off due to current weather conditions - for those of you who are interested in Glaciers, this is well worth a look!

Here at Franz Josef, we are currently in decline, leading to some really unique challenges for our guides as they lead visitors up onto the glacier. However, we still continue to offer the most incredible glacier experience each and every day!!!
