Franz Josefi liustik, Franz Josef Glacier

Franz Josefi liustik, Franz Josef Glacier
Lummavalt kaunis Franz Josefi liustik Uus-Meremaal, maooride keeles on paiga nimi Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere (Hine Hukatere pisarad). Austria keisri nime pani liustikule saksa maadeuurija von Haast, kes siinkandis esimese eurooplasena põhjalikult matkas. Maoori nimi tuleb aga legendist, kus Hine Hukatere ja tema armastatu Wawe ronisid mägedes ringi, kuid ühel hetkel jäi Wawe laviini alla ja hukkus. Selle peale puhkes Hine nutma ja tema külmunud pisarad moodustasidki liustiku.
Stunningly beautiful Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, it's called Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere (the tears of Hine Hukatere) in maori. Name of the Austrian emperor was given to the glacier by the german explorer von Haast that was the first european that thoroughly hiked in this region. Maori name comes from the legend where Hine Hukatere and her lover, Wawe, loved to climb the mountains but at one point Wawe was swept away by an avalanche to his death. Hine Hukatere was broken-hearted and her many, many tears flowed down the mountain and froze to form the glacier.
