An Australian tourist died on the Franz Josef glacier. He was part of a group of 12 on a day hike led by a guide on the glacier, on the West Coast.
The group, in single file, were negotiating a path along the bottom of a crevasse when he fell over and stopped breathing about 1.30pm.
In 2000, I walked to the glacier face with my husband and daughter and took this photo. It was a big giant river of ice.

Your photograph is incredible. That's very sad about the hiker who lost his life.
Really cool picture. A bit scary though.
Wow, that's scary... nice picture!
We wanted to visit this glacier when we were in NZ several years ago, but it rained so hard, we turned back and didn't continue toward it on the S Island - we crossed Arthur's Pass instead. I've heard that walking on it is a scary adventure.
Good place for that sign! Many people die every year by underestimating the danger of what they are doing.
Oh dear! How awful!
I like your photo though!
I think I would heed that sign; looks dangerous to me!
Hi, I'm back to reply. I teach and study at the same time. This will be my last year in Taiwan... yes I can picture NZ...that's the only quiet and more nature place I really want to stay. We'll see...
below freezing point,..Ann? your teeth got * kak,kak,kak..*, ??
It must have been amazing to see a glacier like that up close. I would like to do that, although I would certainly pay attention to those danger signs.
To answer your questions about sempervivum. They are called hens and chicks because the mature plant is surrounded by new, young plants in much the same way as a mother hen is surrounded by a brood of chicks.
Sad about the hiker.. your shot is good!
An amazing photo.
