#29 Franz Josef Glacier


The next stop was Franz Josef. For the second time that day we went on an unexpected helicopter ride. We flew up onto the glacier for a three hour hike.





Landing



Into the ice cave

Not the best place to feel claustrophobic

In the cave we had to tread through some deep ice puddles. Here our model demonstrates with his ice axe just how deep the puddles could be.
Climbing out







This was an incredible day!
