Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand

On a bright sunny Thursday afternoon I took a helicopter flight over the Franz Josef Glacier on the South Island of New Zealand. Seated next to the pilot I had a perfect view as we flew up the valley, over the peaks and landed on the snow.

 

For the most part I shot videos, spectacular high definition footage on files too big to upload to this site. This was the view as we flew towards the glacier; a shot best viewed at full size.

 

The Franz Josef Glacier is located in the Westland Tai Poutini National Park.
