Fox Glacier Track 2016-08-08 16:02
There are two renowned glaciers in NZ, which can be visited very easily. In fact, our good friends, Enric and Maria, had been there for a few years - thank you for all your advice! - they told us to visit them both. And so we did.
At the low time, when the sun tumbled, we reached the Fox Glacier, we were the last ones to start the path that takes you to the glacier viewpoint. This can only be visited by walking with a guide, because it is very dangerous. The guides draw access to the gel. Helicopters also leave people with guides on the glacier.
Depending on the conditions the DOC leaves access open to a specific place. In our case we were able to see this glacier very well, which like many others is rapidly emulsifying.
Health and Legs !!

Ja fa casi 1 any que no deixen accedir caminant per seguretat, només helicopters 😞
Quina llàstima MariscalAstra ;-(
La veritat és que fins a aquell punt no semblava que tingués cap perill, més endavant sí... calia anar amb guia.
Crec que aquesta ruta sí que es pot fer: https://ca.wikiloc.com/rutes-senderisme/roberts-point-track-franz-josef-glacier-2016-08-09-8-37-14637220
