The glaciers of New Zealand’s Southern Alps are among the most beautiful, and the option of glacier trekking by helicopter makes it even more adventurous.
From this start, it can move to a helicopter ride, where you will get a scanty view of snow-covered mountainous areas, deep valleys, and pure glaciers.
After reaching the glacier, that is when one actually gets to begin the exercise. The descent even includes crampons and ice axes for the icy grounds, crevasses, ice caves, and seracs to explore. The scenes are surreal, where the ice is dark blue, the snow is white, and the sky above is also blue.
Using the helicopter, one can cover much greater areas of the glacier that are actually impossible to reach on foot and thus move through absolutely untouched nature.
The process requires a great deal of energy as well as strengthening one’s relationship with the wilderness in its most primal aspect. During your walk, you will be informed on the formation of the glacier, how it moves, the effects of climate change, and the type of life that prevails in this environment.
It is a journey of fun and learning at the same time, which gives an insight into the might and glory of the world.
