Angry on Fox Glacier

http://angryaussie.wordpress.com
Long time viewers will remember I went on holiday to New Zealand in January 2007 and posted a bunch of videos. Those with good memories will remember me complaining that the airport x-ray scanners wiped my memory card, resulting in me losing a bunch of photos and videos.

I did get some help in recovering the lost files and got about 80% of them back. I posted some of the videos but found the fragments of this one when I was looking for something else on my hard drive.

Losing this footage was really annoying as it was my favourite part of the holiday. I pieced together the fragments, and it almost makes sense. The bit of talking in the first sequence that gets cut off is where I point out that this is the only place in the world where there's a temperate rain forest right next to a glacier. Also, these are probably the only glaciers in the world that are actually advancing.

That narrow space would scare the piss-ants out of me.

I have severe claustrophobia.

You got the glacier vid together! Wow this must have been difficult...Both to record and to actually repair as a vid.

The good news is that this bit has survived and your precious holiday memories are regained. Mostly.
