I was early and the person behind the counter told me the 2 other people booked a 40 minute flight, I only the 20 minute one. So for the same amount I got me the longer one, and what a flight it was.
I am feeling very privileged being so lucky to be able to do this. Never done it before. It is a bit scary at first (and later btw as it was rather windy up in the sky), but what a view you get. After a minute we were already passing the first Glacier, the Franz Jozef and were climbing towards the Mount Coock, the highest mountain in the southern hemisphere. It was a bit rough up there and that feels different compared to a normal plain as it is all so small and fragile, at least it seems that way :-).
We landed in front of the top in fresh snow, there was one other helicopter, but this is something I will never forget. What a feeling it is and how privileged I am ....
I took many pictures and exchanged e-mail with the Australians to send the pictures I took from them and they took from me.
The feeling of flying to a ridge (a few meters above) and passing it going into the deep is I have to say very special. Great ride.
