Fox Glacier--Helihike

After Wanaka, we headed for fox glacier..it took us abt half a day's time to reach Fox Glacier from Wanaka...By the time we reached Fox Glacier, it was already dark..late in the evening..we stayed overnite...n joined our Helihike Glacier Walk the next day...

At around 9am..we took a bus to the helipad...where we were equipped v leather shoes which kept our feet warm..n of cuz some woolen socks n gloves...

After a brief talk by our tour guide..we wen into da helicopter...n flew up to glacier..Fox Glacier..hehe...So far...some ppl may think tat..wat da hell the glacier is..basically is a large, slow moving ice..For more information, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier..
