Kiwi Trip 5

Through the rocky mountain road, we came to the edge of the retreating glacier where our nature loving tour guide actually went down to the glacier and brought up pieces of ice floating near the edge of the valley.. Here's a piece of them showing how small pieces of rocks were frozen in the ice as the glacier moved across the mountains...



This is another type of ice showing how the ices actually formed layer by layer.. it all started off with one layer.. and slowly over each winter.. the remaining snow get compressed and frozen at the end of each winter and thus formed one layer of the ice... if you look at the ice carefully.. you'll be able to tell how thick was the snow fall for each year based on the separation between each individual layer of ice... interestingly... the tour guide mentioned that there is a slight reduction in thickness of the ices in recent years... ie.. lesser snow fall... sniff*



Mt Cook.. Birth place of the glacier...



A very sentimental picture captured by mastermind... triggers off tons of imaginations and feelings....
