We are now at Franz Josef Glacier, one of two of the most accessible glaciers. There are options to take a helicopter ride to the top and hike around the glacier. Because of the non-stop bad weather, many of the helicopter companies weren't flying and hiking around a glacier didn't seem like the perfect activity to do with my parents :) So we just hiked as close as we could get and then explored an overlook that was quite a steep hike in the woods. James took off running when no one was looking and touched the glacier (you aren't allowed to get too close without a guide). A guide did see him and began yelling, but he was all the way at the top of the glacier and really couldn't do much except yell.
