Franz Joseph Glacier

It’s not every day that a team of guides cuts a staircase into the side of a major glacier.

New Zealand photo update: At least half of the pictures I took in New Zealand are now off the camera. The other half will come off tonight. Then it’s on to post-processing - the tedious task that turns ordinary photos into ... well ... better photos.

This picture was taken at the base of the Franz Joseph glacier. Tourists pay guides to take them up the glacier for a half or full day of icy fun. When I went, we crawled around in “worm holes,” jumped over crevasses and did a lot of stuff you’d never get to do on a guided trip in the states. It was good fun!
