Franz Joseph Glacier - New Zealand
Looking down on the Franz Josef Glacier from around 2,500 m. Fed by smaller glaciers on either side that gouge out and grind down large quantities of rocks along with the ice, the glacier melts when it gets down to around 300 m above sea level, visible in the picture about 12 km away. In the clear air, distances are very deceptive.
