Because of the young children, the glacier project can not participate, but choose to stay in this glacier town for a night. One reason is that Matheson Lake, the highest peak in New Zealand, Cook Mountain and its reflection in the lake can be seen with good luck, and the other reason is that you can still choose a hiking route suitable for family travelers to observe the glacier at close range. It was less than 2 p.m. when we arrived at Fox Glacier, and we had plenty of time to visit Matheson Lake. We chose the route around the lake, 4.4 kilometers, taking 2.5 hours. The lake is surrounded by primitive forests and vegetation, covered with layers of lichens and mosses, all kinds of fungi (sky-blue mushrooms, etc.), streams and rivers live in harmony and full of vitality. Although the Cook Mountains were covered with thick clouds, we were lucky to see the town full of golden light at sunset.

    This ice is a typical oceanic glacier! The prevailing westerly winds bring ocean vapor over to form topographic precipitation, and then form. I didn't have the courage to walk past, but I could only get on the plane with tears and teeth.

    Crushing to Yunxia Glacier Adventure Recommendation Index 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟📍 Geographical location: Queenstown, New Zealand 🚁 Transportation mode: Helicopter sightseeing + glacier landing 🏞 Recommended route: composed of multiple lines, you can choose according to your own time, 30 minutes ~ 60 minutes, The color of the planes on different routes will vary. 🎫 Tickets: The itinerary fee is basically about 2000 per capita. 🗻 Operation time: 9: 00A.M. ~17:00P.M. Every half an hour, you can book in advance. ⌚️ Play time: 1~1.5 Hours (all look at the route) 📝 Travel tips: 🔸 Which glacier to land on is mainly based on landing and weather conditions. In fact, the whiteness is almost shocking and spectacular, so there is no need to entangle. 🔸 Be sure to do a good job of sun protection and wear sunglasses to prevent snow blindness. Glacier landing is to take a few photos for you. If you feel addicted, you can choose the glacier hiking route, including helicopter pick-up and hiking guide, and provide basic hiking equipment. Of course, it is better to bring your own hiking boots. The time is about 4 hours, and an appointment is required in advance. The number of people is 3~ 4 people is the best. 🔸 New Zealand's glaciers are clean and pollution-free, the altitude is relatively low, and the body feeling is more suitable. It is strongly recommended to feel it up close. It is really possible to directly enter.

    When you come to New Zealand, you must choose a glacier for hiking. Unlike the glaciers in other parts of the world, all the glaciers in New Zealand have excellent natural conditions for people to hike and enjoy. We ordered a helicopter tour and a glacier hike in advance on Ctrip. We must make a reservation in advance. If we do, there will probably be no space available. The glacier itself is so magnificent that you must not miss it.

    Fox Glacier is 13 kilometers long and slopes down 2600 meters from Southern Alps in the South Alps. Four alpine glaciers accumulate snow about 30 meters deep each year and inject it into Fox Glacier. Snow compresses into blue snow hundreds of meters deep at the top of the glacier, slides down the mountain to the valley below, and falls on ice 300 meters thick. The pressure between the glacier and the steep canyon soil causes part of the snow to melt, providing lubrication for this movement.

    Two glaciers on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island have hiking programs. It is said that Fox Glacier is bigger than Franz Glacier, so if you can book Fox, you should choose the former. The glacier hikes first by helicopter and then by a leader. The half-day project will take about 2 hours to walk, not very tired.
