Heli Ride

---

Our heliride got upgraded to a twin ride to the Fox and Franz Josef Glacier as we sat waiting to be brought to the helicopter!! Our conspicious green stickers were whipped off us and needless to say we were delighted and agreed not to tell the other passangers how much we paid....hmmm, hard deal!

A little red helicopter flew down to pick us up and we cruised first over Franz Josef and then over to land on Fox on the neve . We had a birdseye view of these amazing formations that apart from a glacier in Argentina a completely unique - glacier leading to rainforest and then to the sea.

As we landed we hopped onto this pristine snow and into a landscape of towering cliffs and startling white icy covering of snow. Course the awe and wonder didn't last too long and we started pelting each other with snowballs. Flying back over Franz Josef we could see these otehr tiny people walking over the ice on their helihike.....totally brought home the size of the glaciers even more so.
