Didn’t the glacier realize that they were special and exempt from having to stay behind the barriers?

We need Galcier Control and a one glacier a month limit!

I hiked NZ’s South Island Fox Glacier... I followed all the rules put down by the guide... Trajan88 is a strong dude, but not rain-forest-based-giant-glacier strong ;-)

I believe that picture was taken some years ago in Switzerland. If memory serves, that’s Lake Geneva in the background. It was freezing rain, or freezing spray off the lake, or both.

If it were colder, the blocks of ice wouldn’t have fallen!

All the funnier when you think it's summer down there right now!

“Those barriers are there for a reason. Dummies”

Barriers and rules only exist to spoil everyone’s fun, you should know that.
