Glacier

This is the view of the Franz Josef Glacier high up in Aoraki/Mt Count Natonal Park, New Zealand, and taken from an 8 seater fixed wing plane that took us for a scenic flight that included landing and taking off from the glacier itself. The blue cast is mainly from the low light as the clouds were fast approaching at the end of the day, but deep in the crevices the blue glow is emited from the refraction of light as it bounces through the ice that forms the glacier.
