Our trip in Queenstown ended on December 12th at which time we made our way north via the western coastline of the south island. We had a few destinations we had to check out along our way and Fox Glacier was the first on our route. This was my first time seeing a glacier up close and it was so amazing. The staff and signs strongly suggested we not get too close but we didn't travel to the other side of the world to have to zoom in and take a photo now did we? Against all advise we walked to the foot of the glacier and even touched it before I demanded we head back immediately as I could see water falling of the glacier as it melted. Charles thought I was being a little over dramatic but since being back in Wellington we have heard of two tourist who got a little closer than recommended and actually died as part of the glacier collapsed... so I think we were pretty luck.
