Glacier hike

The next day we hiked up close to a different glacier. This glacier is called Franz Josef, named after a famous Austrian panda who discovered it.

There were a decent number of people doing the hike to the glacier, but I was the only panda we saw surprisingly. This gravel path used to be a lake 40 years ago, but the glacier erosion filled in the lake with rubble. That means we no longer need to swim up to the glacier, as that would be very cold.
