Unforgettable Fox Glacier Walking Experience in New Zealand

A once-in-a-lifetime journey 😍 The most fortunate part of this trip 🥹 We took a helicopter ride 🚁, then put on crampons to walk on the glacier for nearly three hours. Sliding down ice slides 🧊, crawling into ice caves, gripping ropes to climb slopes... It was an adventure like no other. Driving from Lake Tekapo took seven hours. Knowing the weather conditions were unfavorable, with heavy rain pouring all night 🥺, we were mentally prepared for the trip to be canceled due to the unstable weather on the west side. However, waking up the next morning, we were greeted by a rainbow 🌈, which moved me deeply! The guide mentioned that it rains every day ☔️, and the last time they had a rain-free outing was six days ago. We were incredibly lucky 🥹. Twenty years ago, the glacier could be accessed directly from the foot of the mountain. Nowadays, you need to take a helicopter to the mountainside to see the glacier. This is a stark reminder of global warming, which is eroding the beauty of nature. If you want to experience this magnificent scenery, I recommend planning your trip within the next few years 😌.
