One of the most stunning natural wonders in New Zealand has to be Fox Glacier. At 13kms, Fox Glacier (Te Moeka o Tuawe) is the longest of the awe-inspiring West Coast glaciers, and its 36 square km neve is bigger than the size of Christchurch city! But to really experience what it has to offer you need to get near its head – and that’s a two-day trip.

It was a balmy 29 degrees, last Saturday afternoon on Fiji’s Coral Coast. We hadn’t been in the dive boat for more then 20 minutes when we arrived at the site.
