These glaciers are part of the "Tai Poutini National park".
The early Maori knew Franz Joseph as "Ka Roimata o Hine Hukatere" (Tears of the Avalanche Girl). Legend tells of a girl losing her lover who fell from the local peaks and her flood of tears freezing into the glacier.

Another small waterfall!
Unfortunately this is the closest we could get. .
Small lake on the way to Fox Glacier.
