Fortunately for tourists to the area of Fox Glacier on the South Island, its access is not too difficult and gives one a chance to tour this natural wonder either by foot or by helicopter.Fox Glacier as well as Franz Josef Glacier move at a very rapid pace which is known to be about ten times the rate of any other valley glacier due to its shape and the climate around the South Island. It moves down the valley in a funnel form and it is always advancing and retreating. ... continue below the picture...
