Franz Josef glacier
At the bottom of Franz Josef glacier on the Sentinel Rock walk.
Info at the lookout stated.
'18,000 years ago Franz Josef Glacier extended to the sea. Today the terminal face lies 19km from the shore. A warming climate has caused this retreat. Even within the short time since the first Europeans visited, the glacier has shrunk considerably.
When the first photograph was taken of this glacier in 1867, the glacier extended to nearly this spot.'
If there is any kind of info on display at a place I always take a shot of it. saves me trying to remember it all.
