Franz Josef Glacier

Franz Josef Glacier

Franz Josef Glacier is one of the famous sights of Westland Tai Poutini National Park. Like Fox Glacier to the south, it is unusual because it reaches West Coast rainforest near its end, and the huge cascade of ice is fringed by ferns and trees.

Listen to Philip Liner interviewing a guide at Franz Josef Glacier in 1987.
