    Heli-hiking on Fox Glacier

    Posted by AliD 23 May 2007

    You get air lifted onto the glacier by helicopter and then walk for 2 1/2 hours before being lifted off again. The walk includes getting to grips with walking on crampons, exploring ice caves, crevasses and generally being in awe of your surroundings. A fantastic trip and only one company runs hikes up there meaning that we spent 2 1/2 hours on a major tourist attraction and there were only 6 of us there, surrounded by miles of ice. Fantastic.
