Fox-glacier- Te Moeka o Tuawe


This is an old photo taken at the village of Fox Glacier in New Zealand (South Island). The snow capped mountains and the glacier (which isn’t in the photo) are surrounded by dense rain forest with the largest ferns I have seen anywhere (there is one in the right hand corner). It rained almost continuously and this was taken in the few minutes when the sun came out. According to the internet the glacier's name in Maori is "Te Moeka o Tuawe", which means the "tears of Tuawe," who lost her husband on the mountain and whose tears of grief were frozen by the Gods to form the glacier.
Xata, Don Sutherland have particularly liked this photo
