Fran Josef Glacier


Great views of the glacier and related geologic features! Too much
recent rain, causing high river levels, to get get any closer to the
base of the glacier.

Origins of Life


Barrytown Placers





High tide and strong winds have conspired to block access to the
placers to which we were headed. Also a good view of Greenland Group
forming headlands.

End of Day 8

A happy, dry, well-fed cleaning crew after dinner at Tu Nikau Retreat.

Punakaiki

The weather was very windy and rainy, however, the pancake rocks and blowholes were still very impressive.
