Work has been kind of insane. But nonetheless, after 3 weeks I'm back with great things about the trip!
Upon reaching Mount Cook Village, there are some glaciers around which is worth viewing. However, be prepared to climb some stairs. Tasman Glacier is just round the corner and there are some educational information that is available when you get to the viewpoint. Viewing these glaciers always makes me sad. You will see how this glaciers melt away so quickly due to the rising globe temperature. Just imagine your kids may not be able to see them again.
A few post back, we went to Fox Glacier and Franz Josef. In 2014, people were still able to trek directly onto the glacier itself. This is no longer possible.

Wow awesome scenery!
