5 mile beach

Colin and I (Andre’a) headed down to 5 mile lagoon to go kayaking again. The day we went was just beautiful. We really wanted to spend a little more time at this beautiful lagoon before we left.  However, this time we went, five mile lagoon happened to be open (meaning it was flowing out to...

Franz Josef Glacier Hike

A few weeks back, our boss took some of us up on a full day glacier hike.  Words can’t really describe the splendor of it all, but maybe pictures will get closer.

Franz Josef Scenic flight vid

This happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away….. OK it was more like a month and a half ago, and it was in a helicopter over the glaciers and mountains. By the way, Andre’a did all the editing on this video (with a small amount of help from me).

the face

Andre’a finally let me take the trek down to the face of the glacier. Oh yeah, we did this like a month ago and just now realized we forgot to post. It was really spectacular to get that close to it. The day we went was beautifully sunny and really warm… but the closer...

The Roberts Track

The Roberts Track at the Franz Josef glacier was the last of the glacier viewing tracks that we had left to conquer. This track was fairly long and we tackled it on a slightly overcast day. We ran into a little rain but it was not too bad. We had heard great things about this...
