terminal velocity

The terminus of Fox Glacier. It was quite a sight to walk over the ridge to see this creaking, groaning, wall of ice just sitting there.

 

Streaked with mountainside it had scoured off and with the sound of the odd collapse of small sections of ice sheet ringing out, it really disuaded me from wanting to get any closer. A few more adventurous souls ignored the barriers and walked much closer to it though.
