Day 2 - Tasman Glacier walk, Tasman Glacier (Mt Cook)

In the afternoon, we also did the Tasman Glacier walk.

Views from the lookout, looking back at the road.

This is Tasman Glacier.  

It is covered in rubble and rocks, so it doesn't look all that impressive.

It's the biggest glacier in NZ (apparently there are around 3000 glaciers in NZ)

There are some smaller walks around the glacier, which took you along the Blue Lakes. 

 Each lake we went to we frozen.  

We'd often stand on the edge of them to test how frozen the lakes were.  

Once we heard a crack, we jumped back on solid ground.

Here's Dave, showing you how frozen the lake really was.
