Mount Cook and Tasman Glacier

In the morning, we first went to Hooker Glacier, which is a 10 km round trip. It was snowing early in the morning, so only the first bridge was open. After inquiring, we were told that it would be open in the afternoon depending on the situation, at least until the snow stopped or the snowplow team cleared a path. We then moved to Tasman Glacier. Because it was still snowing slightly in the morning, there weren't many tourists out. We went down to the river and, seeing no one around, bravely took a dip in the glacier water. How can you not be crazy when you're young? Due to global warming, the glacier is retreating very quickly, with only a few ice chunks left. In a few years, the glacier might be gone. The snow stopped in the afternoon, so we planned to unlock Hooker Glacier the next day.
