ABC Wednesday - T is for Tasman Glacier
This week I thought I'd post some more photographs from our 2001 tour of the The Land of the Long White Cloud.
Here we are flying over the Tasman Glacier with Mounts Cook and Tasman skylined.
This second photograph sees us looking South from Mount Cook over Tasman Glacier Terminal and Lake Pukaki.
For more T posts visit ABC Wednesday.

You have taught me something - I didn't know they had snow on Tasmania.
ReplyDeleteYes, I learned something, too! What breathtaking captures, Gerald! Thanks for visiting and for your comment, always appreciated!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Spectacular scenery, especially when viewed from your plane.
ReplyDeleteA moving, living glacier is such an exciting nature thing. I stood on a glacier in Norway and was in awe.
Thanks for this one.
The words Tasman and Tasmania befuddle some people! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteGlorious photos! Spectacular! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if they are receding like the polar caps of the northern hemisphere.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, now.
Gerald...what an adventurous life you lead! We must meet up....Jon & I, You & Christine for a cuppa!
ReplyDeleteAmazing gorgeous scenery and a perfect pick for the letter T.
ReplyDeletewow-- gorgeous photos
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Glaciers are fascinating, and it's especially interesting to see this land from the sky.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Looks like you were in a small plane; I'm not sure I would be brave enough to fly over the mountains in one. This must have been quite a thrill.
ReplyDeleteSoon the ski season, hurrah !
ReplyDeleteAh, that's beautiful!! I would love to see it!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular and beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't nature just stop you in your tracks? Beautiful photo. New Zealand seems to have such different and varied topography to anything I have ever seen. Thanks for giving me a glimpse.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly fascinating. The smaller glaciers I've seen exhibit a blue color but this is clearly white. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI go with Runee, I didn't know there was snow in Tasmania either! Loved your photos!
ReplyDeleteKisses from Nydia.
