RAIN!


Rain doesn't often stop us! We operate all year around....rain or shine....check out what Franz Josef looks like in the rain .


The glacier itself stretches down from the alps into a rainforest environment, so it's really not surprising that we get the odd down pour. In face we get over 6 metres of rain per annum....it doesnt dampen our guiding spirt though, in fact, in the rain the blues in the ice are even more previlent!
