"South West New Zealand World Heritage Area, where you'll find the ancient Franz Josef Glaciers nestled amidst primeval rainforest. Here the lakes, rivers, forests and beaches of an untamed, yet accessible wilderness, are as pure as you will find anywhere."

The photo above was taken in 2001.

What is the difference between this picture and the picture below?

The people in the picture below would be standing at the base, also called terminus, of the glacier in the picture above.
