You can no longer see any of the glacier from where this photo was taken

Lesley Parker Butland
That would be because humans have warmed up the planet

Tony Walker
Lesley Parker ButlandEarth has experienced multiple warming events across different eons, with some of the most significant being the Hadean, the Neoproterozoic, the Cretaceous Hothouse, and the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). These past warm periods were often linked to high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, but some, like the PETM, saw the Earth warm at a rate much faster than in industrial times.

i NEVER SAW ANY HOT POOLS THERE AND I WAS THERE INTHE 1950S

Sandy Brears
There was a creek further up the valley to the left where there was more privacy, 1968 . I think it all got washed out when the river flooded and took out the bridge

Andy Bone think the vents closed over years back..
Maybe wrong

Sue Wilson
I remember the sign down to them but never actually saw them. How neat.
I do miss the one near the St James walk in the Lewis Pass that was lost to the Kaikoura earthquake.

Bruce Hughes
Is that why the glacier is melting? ?

Sandra Mike Moore
Very picturesque.

Jakh Heremia
I found one on a School trip to the glacier in the 60's

Theresa Gibson
Dante’s Peak (1997) comes to mind
