What travelers say:

Two of the three glaciers on New Zealand's South Island are on the west coast, Fox Glacier and Franz Joseph Glacier. It is not easy to come here by land. Over the mountains and mountains, it seems to enter the flood era along the road, and it is proved from another angle that it is not much affected by humans, and it is primitive enough. Usually there are helicopter tours, canyon walks, ice climbing experiences, and I participated in the first two of Fox Glacier. Due to the impact of global warming, the lower edge of the glacier has been continuously subsided on the mountain. There is only a large number of rubble cut by the glacier in the canyon, which makes people panic. The helicopter overlooking and the glacier landing are still very beautiful. I hope that humans can implement emission reduction as soon as possible. Protect the nature we share.
