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:
Everything Winter, Horizons, Icy Cold, Landscape Photography, Mother Nature's Finest, New Zealand Made, Seasonal 'Scapes, Shots in the Fog and Travel and Adventure Available for sale asGreeting Cards

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!
