yellow sign warns of glacier ice falling, wave, submerging person, Fox Glacier, South Island, New Zealand

A yellow sign warns of glacier ice falling, creating a wave, and submerging a person in dangerous water, at Fox Glacier, South Island, New Zealand. As of 2012, both the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers are more than 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) shorter than a century ago. Fox Glacier retreated throughout most of the last 100 years, advanced from 1985-2009, then began retreating again. In 1990, UNESCO honored Te Wahipounamu - South West New Zealand as a World Heritage Area. Panorama stitched from 2 overlapping images.
