[New Zealand] Lake Matheson

Fox Glacier,福克斯冰河,是紐西蘭南島西岸的兩大冰河之一(另一條冰河是Franz Joseph),而在冰河旁的小鎮,也以同樣的名字命名,出發後的第二個晚上,我們便住在這個小鎮,在小鎮附近,有一座非常有名的湖泊-馬松森湖 (Lake Matheson),我個人非常喜歡,建議大家若有機會,請來兩次,黃昏來一次,凌晨來一次,看不同的光線下,馬松森湖不同的美!
Fox Glacier, is the name of the famous glacier and also the name of the town next to the glacier. It's where we stayed for one night. There is a really famous lake nearby where you can come here twice, at the sunset and sunrise.



依前一天的經驗,晚上一定要出來拍星空的呀!
At the night, since the sky is clean (it's always clean), I take photos for the galaxy.



另外,在福克斯小鎮還有一個秘密景點,一條小步道,就在六號高速公路,要離開小鎮前的路標旁,可以在野外,免費欣賞紐西蘭的名產-glowworm (螢火蟲),這是一種,不會移動,但可以在夜晚發光的昆蟲,非常漂亮,可以讓人靜下心來,因為不靜下來可能不太容易看到,呵~只是我忘了這條步道的名字,在Google地圖上,目前可以看到的名字是Fox Glacier Glow Worm Forest (福克斯冰河螢火蟲森林,不知道是不是真的是這個翻譯,哈),應該還挺好找的,若能早點到鎮上,去I-site問一下也能知道。
PS. 翻了照片,似乎應該叫做Minnehaha track,只是我也不確定了~
上面照片就是我在一片螢火蟲前,拉長曝光時間而拍下來的,回來看了以後,才發現應該要打個光的,這樣才能把背景的樹木拍進去,才拍得出場景,若還能再去,可以再來試試。
There is a secret spot at Fox Glacier. There is a short track on the 6th highway just before the sign leaving the town Fox Glacier. It's located as Fox Glacier Glow Worm Forest on the Google Maps. You don't need to walk far away, just less than 10 minutes and you will see it. You could come here when the sun is still in the sky and come back at night. The glow worm is famous at Te Anau, but you need to pay there. Here is free and you can stay as long as you want. For me, I tried to take a photo like above. Not that good, but I did my best. If I have next time here, I'll turn on the flashlight for one or two seconds for the camera to see the plants.


由於抵達的時間已晚,晚上又出去看螢火蟲,拍星空,我們只在第二天凌晨來到馬松森湖,且由於稍晚還要騎車,我們大概只待了一個小時,其實是不太夠的,建議能規劃個兩到三小時才會比較悠閒,畢竟一定要走到湖對面的Reflection Island Lookout,倒影的美景,真的是超級美的啦!
Since we rode really late while arrived, we only came here on the 2nd day at the sunrise time. I'll recommend you at least spend 2 to 3 hours here, you must go to the Reflection Island Lookout to see if you're lucky to have the fantastic reflection like I did this time.





晴朗的天空,平靜的湖面,反映出來的庫克山與Tasman山,這就是馬松森湖最美的倒影,再加上清晨黃色的陽光與朝霧,真的好像在天堂!
The sky is clear and the Mt. Tasman and the Mt. Cook is really beautiful. With the dawn and the morning fog, we felt that we're in the heaven.

另外拍了一張360度的全景照片: 
I also upload a panorama on Google Maps:

也別忘了來到湖邊的馬松森咖啡店享用一餐,食物很精緻,好吃,我曾在這裡用過晚餐,超美味~
Don't forget to have something to eat at the Lake Matheson Cafe. It's really good.
