Looking Down Franz

Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand

While climbing the glacier I had to lay on my belly on the ice while my friend held the back of my jacket cause I kept sliding down – would’ve been a long bumpy ride to the bottom.

Looking Down Franz belongs to the following groups:

    Wow I must visit NZ sometime, it looks so beautiful. Did you take a tour when you were there?

  • Allison Lane replied

    Thank you for the lovely comments. A friend of mine actually conducted the tours on the glaciers so on his day off he took us on a special trip. It was amazing, he took us to all kinds of areas we normally wouldn’t be allowed to go to, we actually went and had a drink underneath the glacier. I highly recommend it, lol!
