Of course, ferns don’t grow on glaciers, but they can be found relatively nearby. 🙂
When we were exploring the area around Fox Glacier, in New Zealand, we took different hiking paths. The fern forest, was one of them.
New Zealand has beautiful glaciers, but I was spoiled by Patagonian glaciers, and for me, almost nothing can compete with this any more. But ferns are so typical for New Zealand, so I decided to show you one more picture of ferns, instead of Fox Glacier, I hope you don’t mind. 🙂

Tytuł tego postu to “lodowce i paprocie”, ale oczywiście paprocie nie rosną na lodowcach… jednak w Nowej Zelandii, można je spotkać całkiem niedaleko lodowców.
Okolice lodowca Fox oferują wiele ścieżek na wędrówki. Są one o różnym stopniu trudności i na różnej wysokości, i często są bardziej “zielone” niż moglibyśmy się tego spodziewać. Jedna ze ścieżek prowadzi przez las paproci. A że paprocie to zdecydowanie ważniejszy symbol Nowej Zelandii niż lodowce, więc dzisiaj pokazuję Wam kolejne zdjęcie paproci, tym razem znacznie większej. 🙂
Don’t mind at all, plenty of beauty worth looking at!
Thank you, Tim! 🙂
Perhaps this will be the symbol on NZ’s new flag. It would get my vote.
that would be very nice! 🙂
Oh, I love it and I’m always amazed by the idea of a forest of ferns, it must have been a wonderful visit. I would love to see more though…
fern forest are really beautiful, i hope you can visit it one day! 🙂
Am always happy to look at a tree fern. Even when I see them in London they always remind me of New Zealand.
After visiting New Zealand, I have the same; even tiny fern reminds me New Zealand 🙂
Faktycznie jest olbrzymia 🙂 Piękna 🙂

Very beautiful ferns – and so huge. I’d never realised that ferns could grow that big. They are a lovely shade of green, too – what I would call, spring green.
Thank you, Millie!
I’m really happy you like it! 🙂
immagine di una eleganza straordinaria!

The tree ferns are really large there! It is a fabulous place to visit. Wellington is my favourite!

Thank you for visiting!
piękna OGROMNA paproć! 🙂
Dzięki! 🙂
Te Nowozelandzkie paprocie onieśmielają nasze doniczkowe 😉
I love ferns – we have a couple of Australian tree ferns growing in our front yard (Northern California). Unfortunately the cold weather is making them very sad – I guess I should have planted the NZ glacier ferns!
that’s a good point, maybe Kiwi fern is stronger than Aussie fern 😉
What a beautiful place! I love ferns….they are my favorite plant. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tree fern. Fabulous..
Thank you!
I also love ferns, and especially after visiting New Zealand I like them even more! 🙂
Thanks for this informative post! Had no idea there were glaciers in New Zealand. Pics of the ferns were beautiful as well.
They are 🙂 Actually in New Zealand you can find almost everything 😉
