Helicopter Ride, Franz Joseph & Fox Glaciers, New Zealand

November 3

We woke up early and were lucky to have beautiful weather in the Franz Joseph area, so we signed up for an early morning helicopter ride that took us over Franz Joseph and Fox Glaciers and actually landed on Franz Joseph allowing us to walk around the glacier.

We got to spend some time walking around the glacier luckily avoiding any crevasses.
