点评:Here is a suggestion for a walk near Fox Glacier. Drive south out of the township and cross the river and then park in the car park on the left hand side. Follow the paved path up the valley towards the glacier. After about a mile (2 km) take the (signposted) Moraine Walk on the right which takes you through some amazing untouched temperate rain forest with huge numbers of ferns, tree ferns and mosses as well as ancient trees. It joins back up with the main path after about half an hour's walking and then you can continue up to the top of the path to get a view of the glacier. According to the description of this walk on the Department of Conservation's website, you are walking over moraines left behind when the glacier retreated at times in the past, and the moraine at the start of the walk is several thousand years old. It is astounding to see how quickly nature reclaims what must have once been barren ground.
