Plunging from the high giants of NZ’s
Southern Alps, down to the lush bush (rain-forest) of our
West Coast, and out to the vast expanse of the Tasman Sea,
are the Fox and Franz Joseph glaciers – stunning oceans
of ice and snow. A spectacular helicopter ride into a small
alpine hut perched high on a rocky outcrop above each enormous
névé gives access to some of the most sensational
ski touring and climbing in the world
