Cavern of ice [pic]

August 17, 2009  |  General

The Fox gla­cier of New Zea­l­and is an amaz­ing sight, espe­cially from a heli­copter. We flew up the right hand side and put down deep into the ice fields. From there we hiked into the cold, a line snak­ing off up
the slope of the face. After a while our guide held us up and con­sidered a deep hole in front of him. With no word he jumped into it and dis­apeared. A few minutes later we heard him shout, “it’s ok. It’s not infin­ite”. I’m glad of that, I thought. We fol­lowed him in and came across this. An amaz­ing cav­ern about 40 meters long. All around the ice crunched and the walls dripped. We explored this won­der for about an hours, squeezing through nar­row gaps and get­ting quite wet.  One of the exper­i­ences of a lifetime.
