Toward the glacier

On the walk toward the Franz Josef Glacier on New Zealand's south island. Almost all the world's glaciers are in retreat - and those in New Zealand are no exceptions. For a comparison of how much, see the PiP note, copied from an information sign. Climate change at work.

C'est vrai que les glaciers sont en retrait et la principale cause reste l'homme.

It seems to have retreated even more since 2012 but the landscape remains as impressive as always!

In my 3rd grade (used in 1960) school atlas there was a small picture of this glacier as seen through a church window, which was made for the view. When we went there in 1978 the glacier had retreated out of sight.

The window still gave a good view of the landscape, but no ice.
