Slideshow: Franz Josef & Fox Glaciers

For larger photos click here; no captions as yet.




We took a helicopter tour over Franz Josef Glacier & Mount Cook; we landed on top of Fox Glacier long enough to have a quick snowball fight.

The pilot couldn't resist showing off with some reckless dives and turns around the mountain sides. We were happy to learn that our helicopter can bank at a 50-degree angle without losing power or control:-)
