Fox Glacier is located on the west coast of the South Island. I first took the alpine view train from Christchurch to Greymouth. The train station changed to Fox Town. It took a long time to cross the South Island from east to west. In fact, if there is no train plot suggestion, go directly to the bus, then the alpine landscape train has no special scenery along the way, train tickets are still expensive. The back section of the bus has been driving in the mountains, and the mobile phone is in a signal-free state throughout the whole process. If the self-driving anchor, how can I ask for help? The closer to Fox, the rain is getting bigger and bigger, and it's heartbreaking. The bus will go first to franz josef and then to fox, the former town looks bigger and lively, and there are glaciers. Fox is really small and small. Under the introduction, generally go to these two places to go to the glacier to hike, and if it rains, the helicopter will definitely not play. The probability of rain over there is estimated that there are not good weather for a few days in a year, and the glacier where it does not rain. The guide there said that the rain in the town is 6 meters a year, and the rain in the glacier last year is 11 meters. So everyone is mentally prepared, and you may regret it. I booked helihike in China and booked the first shift of the day. I was afraid that the weather would be bad and changed it later. I was ready to give up the rain that morning, but then suddenly the rain stopped the sun. And even if the big sun is waiting for 5 minutes before my class to confirm that I can fly. Good luck, my class is the only one that flew that day. After going up, it rained thunder and rained, and the next two classes were cancelled. If it is sunny, the glacier hiking must be very enjoyable! I survived in the wilderness with light rain. . . The glacier is still beautiful, and the ice cave is blue and pure. Helicopter hiking is highly recommended, it is a rare experience! Fox Glacier is connected to the rainforest. Remember to walk a few steps from the town at night and there are small woods. There are many glow worm fireflies in it. There are many. Don't turn on the flashlight when you watch.

    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 glaciers in other parts of the world, all glaciers in New Zealand are in excellent natural conditions for people to hike and enjoy. We booked a helicopter tour on Trip.com in advance to visit the glacier. We must book in advance. If you book now, there may be no quota. The glacier itself is very majestic, don't miss it.

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

    There are two glaciers on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island that have hiking projects. It is said that Fox glacier is larger than Franz glacier, so if you can book Fox, you should choose the former. The glacier has to take a helicopter on foot, and then have a leader to lead. The half-day project will take about 2 hours, not very tired.
