Day 80 to 82 - Fox Glacier - Lake Matheson

When we arrived at Fox Glacier, the mountains were lost in a cold dense fog that swirled into low clouds. We decided to stay for a day or two, hoping for better weather so we could take a helicopter flight up to the glacier's upper reaches for a hike.   Unfortunately, the clouds, and an on-and-off rain, stayed with us from here until the last day of our trip. It was still beautiful, and now we have even a better excuse to come back!

We took long walks in the surrounding forests and lakes and did make a hike to the lower part of the glacier.  Below are pictures from the lake.
