Something special happens on the West Coast of the South Island in NZ. There is a beautiful rain forest, almost sub tropical in setting, with abundant flora and fauna, but what makes it so special is the glaciers that shoot out of the mountains and almost make it down to sea level. Evidently they are the "closest glaciers to sea level at this latitude on the globe." We did a family hike of 13 kilometers one day to a view point overlooking the famous Franz Joseph Glacier. What an incredible hike! The scenery in the section of NZ is breathtaking around every turn. New Zealand continues to spoil us with beauty. Fun times....
