Waterfalls of South Island (Glacier Country/Haast Pass)
As we go further south on the South Island's West Coast, the scenery gets more wet and wild. In particular, there exists a pair of glaciers that are amongst the fastest moving in the world - the Franz Josef Glacier and the Fox Glacier. Given a mix of frequent rains and melting snow, you can find plenty of waterfalls - many of which are unnamed. As we cross Haast Pass towards the southern Southern Alps, you'll find more snow-fed waterfalls along the walls of the Haast River Valley. Such waterfalls along this stretch of the Southern Alps include Thunder Creek Falls and Fantail Falls. WATERFALLSClick on one of the waterfalls below to read more about it.
