Introducing Fox Glacier
Not a shy and retiring type, Sir William Fox was NZ’s prime minister when he named the river of ice in 1872. Even if you’ve already been to Franz Josef Glacier, it’s still worth checking out Fox. Take a walk around beautiful Lake Matheson, and dive into Fox’s array of glacier-related attractions: glacier walks, flights and travellers wearing thermals.
