Church architecture: Franz Josef Glacier « Previous | |Next »
April 25, 2008

The west coast of the South Island of New Zealand has not changed much apart from the penetration of the global economy in the form of international tourism concentrated around the Fox and Franz Joseph Glaciers in the Westland National Park.

Westland is a distinctive and unexplored bioregion with human civilization located in isolated spots along the coastal edge. The region is sparsely populated, especially in the south.

The glaciers dominate the region.

Wonderfully strong contrast there.

'Tis a region of contrasts as the alps and mountains come down to the coast.There are lots of big rivers, some remarkable bush and only a few towns in some of the river valleys. It's bushwalking country.
