Description |
Department of Conservation Officer Stuart Drake at Franz Josef Glacier, dated November 1995. The caption on the verso reads: "Conservation officer Stuart Drake using a marker post from which to take his monthly photographic record of the movements of the Franz Josef Glacier. The glacier is advancing at a rate not seen for many years, overrunning popular viewing spots as it moves down the valley. The spectacular event is attracting many tourists to the glacier and its neighbour at Fox which is also advancing. Stuart believes the advance will be the greatest seen since the last ice age." |
