September 29 Franz Josef

We have booked ourselves onto a Franz Josef Glacier hike.FJ glacier is supposedly the world's steepest and fastest flowing commercially guided glacier and in the past years has often been regarded as 'inaccessible'.It's is a really cool (literally) experience. How often do you get the chance to hike a galcier? It's is pretty hard work and our guide spends most of the time hacking away at the ice with a gigantic ice pik to make it more accessible for us.
