The Tsunami

While we are - or at least I am - still on the West Coast, here's a shot I just had to get. Wandering around the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, I was rather taken by all the big obvious danger signs. For some reason DoC seems to feel that 1) glaciers are dangerous, and 2) people are stupid. Frankly I think they're right on both counts, although admittedly I have yet to experience the danger of a glacier.

Anyway, I think this sign is saying that glaciers cause tsunami so if you live near the coast you should always be on alert. Or something. Regardless it looks pretty cool.

Oh and by the way that's Fox Glacier in the background.

Classic Sign! I love signs, they can be so bizzare at times.
