    Tips

    January 12, 2020

    A rough gravel path, which partly leads through a river bed, leads to the beginning of the Tasman Glacier Tongue. Due to recent massive landslides, the path currently ends here (January 2020). Thus, an ascent to Ball Hut and Caroline Hut is currently not possible and the further circular route via the Ball Pass is also not passable.

      When I visited the place, a piece of glacier broke off, which at first sounded like a sudden thunderstorm ..
      That made it clear again what was happening all over the world.
