Franz Josef Glacier 11-30-2008

My keyboad on my PDA is giving me problems - about 5 of the keays aren't working so I am just going to post a few photos. We continue to have a great time a we are seeing some of the best scenery in the world. Most of it is between 2,000 and 6,000 feet so Kathy is not having any health issues to speak of. We drove to Milford Sound, on the way back hiked Key Summit (it was like being in the alps. Then we spent 10 hours driving north and wound up a the Fraz Josef Glacier which start just a few hundred feet above sea level here aon the coast. I went on a guide hike up into the glacier, crampons, ice axes, ropes the whole thing with about 13 others. Hiking a glacier is one of the things you should do if you are able before you die. Here are photos
