Alas, the same rain that had caused the landslide, and subsequent road closure at Arthur’s Pass had also made the glacier unsafe to climb. Unfortunately this is an all too common occurrence, and we would definitely recommend allowing 2 or more days in the area.
Luckily we were spending the night and were booking in for the following day. We slept with all fingers and toes crossed hoping for better luck the following day.
Wow, What an amazing experience. I bet it was so beautiful. I am going to add it to my bucket list for sure. I bet it was the most beautiful lunch ever.
How exciting! Your photos are stunning of the glaciers would love to see them someday soon!
I don’t like the cold but I certainly want to experience and this in person! Thanks for sharing! Might add it to the bucketlist 🙂
Wow, this is so neat! What gorgeous photos.
Fox Glacier looks so cool! I’ll be in Auckland next year so will definitely have to add this to my itinerary.
These pictures are absolutely stunning and this looks like such a cool experience! I definitely need to visit New Zealand one day.
These photos are stunning – absolutely gorgeous. What a cool adventure!
Now that’s what I would call extreme adventure! Your photos are beautiful.
That looks like an amazing experience. We’ve hiked all over the country but never in ice.
Such a breath taking photos! Looks like I want to go there
What an awesome experience! Your pictures look amazing.
This looks like a great hiking glacier adventure. You looked like you had lots of fun. I must say that you’re so brave to stand at the edge of the glacier. I’ll be freaking out if I were you. Thanks for bringing this marvelous glacier adventure here. Love all the photo shots! Good job.
I wanted to visit the glacier by Whistler in Canada but we never made it there.Glaciers are fascinating to me, how they change and have caves, etc. What a neat experience!
Hiking on a glacier is an amazing experience. We tried this for the first time in Alaska, last year. Very nice photos! #TheWeeklyPostcard
Wow what a unique experience! Makes me miss Montana a bit when I lived near Glacier National Park! #TheWeeklyPostcard
New Zealand is one of my favorite places that I would love to visit and exploring glaciers would be a wonderful experience anytime. The pictures are quiet inviting that I would love a trip right away.
Omg what an experience!! I never hiked a glacier before! I have Bieber skiiid one lol… bit as cool as what you did lol
This is a bit surreal. I have never seen a glacier but I imagine it is an incredible sight. And, I imagine it is even better when you are able to walk over it. It is something I would like to do one day. #TheWeeklyPostcard
It’s been a while since I’ve been anywhere near glaciers! They’ve always been fascinating!
I’ve never tried this before and it would awesome to experience something like this soon! I think it’s worth the trip!
That sounds awesome! I can’t wait to go to NZ soon to check it all out myself. I would do so much hiking or “tramping” as it’s called, I’ll get sick of it ha! Which I doubt will ever happen. A mountaineering course is on the horizon anyway. I would love to hear more about the missing explores and all of these kind of stories too. Thanks for sharing!
