Fox Glacier

 

Travel to the West Coast of New Zealand, but hurry, as the glaciers that can move mountains from their path, are in shameless retreat. There is less & less snow now Falling in the Southern Alps, from where these glaciers grind forth to scar the land: We heat the earth as if it were a crucible in a flame, & all is now uncertain!

&& In 1905, all this languid stream was under ice; part of the Fox Glacier - you lose & you gain !! A Bridge that sways but holds Firm.
