Haast to Greymouth, New Zealand

There are a number of walks you can do from the Franz Josef Valley carpark. We chose the Peter's Pool which was only a 15 minute walk. Peter's Pool is a kettle lake which formed in a depression (kettle hole) filled by a large melting chunk of ice left behind as the glacier receded in the 1800s. Eventually the vegetation will entirely encroach on the pool and fill it in. Select the photo below to see more of this area.
