A Scenic Glacier Sentinel Rock Walk | Franz Josef 🇳🇿
It was a drive in September last year from Christchurch to Fox Glacier in the Westcoast of the South Island. Tourists flocks to Mt Cook, Lake Tekapo, Milford Sound, Queenstown...which are no doubt very beautiful spots but the Westcoast is another stunning place with a lot breathtaking spots.
So with a little over five hours of driving, I stopped at Franz Josef, the last town before Fox Glacier for a walk. I had checked online for short walks before embark on my long drive.
Sentinel walk happened to be a stunning walk, though there is a steep section to it that got me breathing heavily, a sign of lacking fitness 😀.
From the Sentinel Rock lookout, you can see the glacier but over the years, the glacier has retreated due to global warming, it is amazing to see from the info provided how much glacier was there in 1865 compared to now.
Interesting how our world works. 🌎
It looks like a nice break. Those long drives can be tiring, but you get to visit places you normally don't.
The long drives are very tiring, it makes me hate driving but seeing the country is rewarding from the drive.

It's so beautiful. It's so nice that you visited such a beautiful place. You're right, the west coast you visited was truly beautiful and cool.
The Westcoast is definitely one of my favorite regions of the South Island. I am lucky to be visiting this places.

No real global warming, simply cycles of life of earth as we know it, perhaps one day will stretch it's long fingers all the way down to the waters edge once again.
Awesome photography from your adventure.

Would be nice to have it fully extended to the view point again. Franz Josef and Fox Glacier are so far in the South Island.
Am lucky to see this place.
