Fox Glacier heli-ice climbing (See Slideshow below): Danielle and I had the opportunity to go to Fox Glacier. We were helicopted into the glacier and hiked for about 45 minutes to our first ice climbing spot. We were able to climb 6 walls. It was probably the most unnerving experience because the ice is constantly melting around you and the only thing securing you is a screw put in the ice by the guide once you determine where you want to climb. The view was amazing with pure blue-white ice formations surrounding you and green mountains with waterfalls overflowing onto the glacier.
