It's all about the weather!	Day one was crappy	Road to the glacier	Soaking wet!
Day two however, was beautiful	Still miles away from the glacier	Getting closer	From here on, another 2km
The entire group	The surroundings	Almost there	The surroundings
Franz Joseph	Getting geared up	That's a 160 NZ$ smile!	Access to glacier is only with guides
The ascent	Keep going	Rear view	Side view
The glacier is over 10 km long	Our goal for the whole day was 5 km	In the 1800's the glacier streched until there	This was at the top 70 years ago
Continuing the ascent	Forms	No proof of global warming	Team Germany
Tean Romania	Jump!	Getting harder with each step	The rockpile was our goal
Rear view	Side view	Weather changing	Waves of ice
Waves of ice	Crevases	Crevases	In an ocean of ice
Sky cleared up	:)	Team Hong Kong	Making our way through
Great stuff!	Eye of the tiger!	Smile!	Wall of ice
The fun began!	The fun began!	The fun went on!	..and on...
The glacier descends to 300 m.a.s.l.	It was loads of fun!	Thirsty? No problem	Yep, we had to go through!
Kea, the only mountain parrot, an the most anoying	because people feed them high energizing food	Last obstacle	Ice caves
Ice caves	Ice caves
