Glacier Encounter


We visit a huge, newly-carved glacier valley and view the giant glacier.  Here the world record breaking glacier plunges at break-neck speeds (for glaciers) from 3000 metres into low land rainforest. Spectacular towering cliffs guard the glacier's freezing outflow river. Huge rocks tumble as the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates compress, twist and shatter.

Studies
We learn the recent history telling of the glaciers advances and recessions.  We interoperate the visible remnants and see the history of these magnificent
features.  

As we cross between world tectonic plates we witness rock strata twisted and turned vertically from its original horizontal strata and determined bending.

WARNING: This area can be dangerous for the unprepared and may close at times of most danger.
