Franz Josef glacier is a famous glacier national park on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island. It has hundreds of kilometers of snow and snow that has been inactive for thousands of years. The ecological environment of the entire glacier is very good, the stream under the glacier melt is clear and sweet, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful, definitely a good place to hike.

    Take a helicopter to experience the glacier on foot, wear equipment and slowly follow the guide on the glacier, occasionally see the thin iceberg melting snow water, and the stretching glacier is blue, you can also experience the rope through the ice cave, great

    Before evening, we left the town by bus and went to Glacier Park about three kilometers away from the town. There were also trails from the town to the park, which was very suitable for leisurely tourists to walk around. Our guide led us into the park along the dense jungle trail. The guide told us that because ferns grow a lot here, the oxygen content is very high, so the North and South Islands of New Zealand are hikers'paradise. Out of the jungle trail in the valley, you can see an open glacier valley, but because the glacier melted, it became a riverbed beach. The flow of glacier water is very turbid, the water volume is not very slow, the sand and stone bare growth of moss and red, these large red stone beaches we have seen on the way to Mugetsuo scenic spot outside Kangding City, Sichuan Province. At that time, the tour guide told us that it was because of the clean environment that the red attachment of rocks could be formed. If we take it away from the environment, the red attachment of rocks would disappear soon. The hiking route indicated by a pointer stick stretches deep into the valley, and a corner of the glacier can be seen from a great distance. At this time, the top of the snow mountain is still cloudy. Under the guidance of the tour guide, we stepped on the sandy road of the riverbed. In fact, there was no way out. The tourists stepped on one road more naturally. Crossing a bridge over a glacier flowing down from a valley glacier, you can see several waterfalls flying down a nearby cliff, one of which is still relatively large. Growing in glacial valleys, it is naturally overlooked by tourists eager to see the glacier. Most of them rush through the cliffs and take pictures at most. Few people stop. The more red-adhered rocks along the road, the more beautiful many rocks have different lines. We went all the way to the mouth of the valley. We were about to climb the hill on the way back. The tour guide told us to stop there because we had reserved dinner at the hotel restaurant at seven o'clock in the evening. The glaciers that can be seen standing here are also limited, and with the settling of clouds and mists, the snow mountains behind the glaciers are no longer visible. We climbed a nearby high slope to take pictures and prayed that God would bless us with the hope of visiting the glacier tomorrow. Two small stones were picked up near our walk as a souvenir. Then, at the urging of the tour guide, he followed the army back and stepped on the sandstone Road on the river bed, imagining that the white glacier had covered the land. The destruction of nature by human beings is really cruel. Looking back at the waterfall on the cliff, I felt very spectacular. It was a rare sight. Everyone stopped to take pictures. Publicity boards were set up on the roadside outside the riverbed to introduce the changes of glacier melting. Photographs of glaciers in the same place at the same time in 1988 and 2012 were shown. Large areas of bareness were clearly seen.

    Franz Joseph Glacier is a sister of Fox Glacier. The size of the glacier is not very large. The tour guide said that because of the warming of the climate, it will probably disappear in a few decades. There are hiking roads beside the glacier, which can go up to the glacier, but because they are not equipped, they dare not rush up. They took photos under the glacier, but they feel very beautiful.
