West Coast lies among the rough Tasman Sea and the peaks of the Southern Alps. It is a pretty spectacular place, and due to its climatic and geographic conditions, this is the only place in the world where at this latitude there are glaciers so close to the sea. Long time ago glaciers used to dominated that area but nowadays they are only two left: Fox Glacier and Franz Joseph Glacier. It is worth having a look, even if it is a rainy day (which it is quite often in that region). At least you will always be able to say hello to the ranger who is perpetually monitoring the site.
