The view from the 'Glacier viewpoint' Except it's very far away and lost in the low clouds. View is the valley with steep sides mostly rock with some vegetation. The gap between the sides is obscured by low cloud. The view itself is framed between a couple of tress and some wonderful native ferns at the bottom
About half way to the glacier from the car park. The glacier can be seen between the rocky sides of the valley, Fox river winds slowly through the base of the valley on to it's wide rocky river bed at the bottom. The path to the glacier can be seen rising from the side of the river bed and snaking around the bottom of the valley side on the left. The mountains behind have swirling clouds around them, with a light blue sky above. Several extremely tiny figures can be seen at the top of the path.
A closer view with the end of the glacier visible between the walls of the valley, groups of people can just be seen at the top of the path.
A view of the end of the glacier, huge chasms splitting the ice can be seen. The surface is strewn with small dark rocks like dust at the bottom of the image. The mountain behind can barely be seen through the low clouds. The image looks to be black and white although it is acutall colour, the ice having a very light blue-ish hue
Fox Glacier, West Coast Region, New Zealand. February 2016.
Quite something to see the sign on the road leading up to the car park indicating where it reached in 1790. It's now retreated a l-o-n-g way. It's still quite a hike from the car park.

LOL! I really can't tell if they were being humorous or plain daft. I'm hoping for the former.
They also wrote this:
"If you are traveling a long way to get to #NewZealand and consider New Zealand to be very remote, than [sic] #FoxGlacier would almost be beyond comprehension."

No doubt Lake Matheson is the crowning jewel of New Zealand's South Westland township of Fox Glacier. How ever the carpark can produce some wonderful images when the sun has gone off the lake.

When I am calm
The green overtakes me
It grows and plunders
It lays down the siege
