Aussie Spec Fic and Windy Days Near Mt Cook

There's lots of linky interest over at the Aussie Spec Fic Carnival at Ticon 4 Part 1 and Part 2.

The glacier itself extends back, following the foot of the snow-capped mountains. You can see the line etched in the hills where the glacier used to be. Global warming, both natural and man made:
