Fox Glacier is located on the west coast of South Island. First, I took the Alpine Landscape Train from Christchurch to greymouth, and the intercity bus from the railway station to Fox Town. It took me a long time to cross the South Island from east to west. In fact, if there is no train scenario suggestion, go directly to the bus, then there is no special scenery along the mountain landscape train, train tickets are also expensive. The back section of the bus has been driving in the mountains, the mobile phone is in a signal-free state all the way. If the self-driving breaks down and calls for help, the closer it gets to Fox, the more rain it will get and the more heartbreaking it will be. The bus goes first to Franz Josef and then to fox, where the town looks bigger and busier and there are glaciers. Fox is really small. Introduced below, usually go to these two places will go on a glacier hike, and if it rains, helicopters are absolutely useless. I estimate the probability of rain over there. It's not raining in a few days a year. The guide over there says that the annual rainfall in town is 6 meters, and the annual rainfall on the glacier is 11 meters. So we are prepared for it, and we may regret it if we go. At home, helihike was booked and the first shift was booked on the same day. If the weather was bad, we would change it later. I was ready to give up the rainstorm that morning, but then suddenly it stopped raining and the sun was shining. And even the Sun waited five minutes before his flight to confirm that he could fly. Fortunately, my class was the only one that flew that day. When I got there, it thundered and rained. The latter two classes were cancelled. If it's sunny, glacier hiking must be very addictive. I survive in the wilderness above under the light rain. The glacier is still beautiful. The ice cave is blue and pure. Helicopter hiking is recommended as a rare experience. Fox Glacier is connected with the rainforest. I remember that there are small woods in the evening just a few steps from the town. There are many glow worm fireflies in them, many of them. Don't turn on a flashlight when you watch them.

    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.
