ABC Wednesday: ICE

ABC Wednesday is hosted by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt

We went as a family to New Zealand's most famous glaciers are the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers on the South Island's West Coast. Gouged out by moving ice over thousands of years, the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers are easily accessible to mountaineers and hikers.
It was daunting to see such massive rivers of frozen ice.

On the West Coast, remnants of the ice age cascade from vast snowfields of the Southern Alps to valley floors just 300 metres above sea level. Nowhere in the world's temperate zones are glaciers so accessible - glaciers cover nearly half the area of the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.

Just recently on September the fourth, a Fletcher FU24 aircraft crashed at the end of the runway at Fox Glacier Airport. The crash was New Zealand's worst aviation disaster in 17 years and killed 9.

ABC Wednesday: Fountain

Drinking fountain of all ages in my school.

Our school encourages students to be healthy and drink water. Our kids play during morning tea and lunch time, and we hardly have any obese children, though statistically, we are a nation with lots of obese people.

ABC Wednesday: V for Vat.

A lot of soup was brewed on this Thai King's birthday celebration at Rocket Park in Mt Albert. The soup was for noodles and sold to raise money to build a school in the mountainous area of Thailand.

I tried the soup. It was similar to the Bak Gu Teh aka Rou Gu Cha in Singapore.
