Right now this may sound absolutely bizarre to all the Saffers out there - but in New Zealand there is snow and ice and a heck of a lot of it - in fact there is a whole mountain made of ice...but before I show my complete ignorance on the reasons behind glaciers and the way in which they move and change, may I just say that we have climbed one and man it was an unbelievable experience. In short, Fox glacier is brought about because of all the hot wind that is sent over from Australia and the first really big mountain it hits, it creates rain that at a certain height equals snow, so the end result is tonnes of compressed white stuff that moves 10 times faster than any other hard ice in the world - awesome. Anyhow, we spent the day wandering about on the ice and even exploring ice caves and ravines - a moment to savor and cherish.
