We stayed in Franz Josef Glacier for a couple of nights. It felt very European with the atmosphere as far as all the hostels and the range of people coming and going as well as ALL the activities. We went out one night and became good friends with the bartender who we ended up swapping an Oregon Dechutes beer with. Having them in the car became quite handy. In Wanaka we went into their brewery and traded a beer for a sampler of the variety they had. Anyway, as you can see in the middle picture here, there is a warning sign which indicates there is an ice cave which could fall at any given moment. Take a close look and notice, it's already gone. You could hear cracking as well as see in melting quick. We've got to reach the top before it's too late!
