Tasman Glacier

The timing of our trip was great, the suspension bridge that must pass the road was closed for maintenance the next day, and the tourists in the hotel who were suddenly cancelled were sent back by the bus.

Tasman Glacier (Tasman Glacier ) is located in Tasman Lake in Mount Cook National Park on New Zealand's South Island. It is the longest glacier in New Zealand, 27 kilometers long, 4 kilometers wide, 101 square kilometers in area, 600 meters thick, 3,000 meters above sea level, and is one of the longest glaciers in the world. The Tasman glaciers are slowly slipping at speeds ranging from 23 to 45 cm a day, and the slowness is almost invisible. As a representative of the closest glacier to the ocean, especially since 1995, glaciers have rapidly declined, and the front edge of the glaciers has retreated nearly 1 km.

Experience a different scenery during an adventure The feeling of flying over the three major glaciers is really shocking. The snow is thick and soft, reminding me of the snow scene of Jungfrau. For our children who grew up in the south, it is still super excited! Stepping on one of the world's longest glaciers, it is finally worth the trip! Feeling super excited! It is said that in recent years due to global warming, the glacier melting speed has become faster, so it is recommended that friends go to go as early as possible!

45 minutes snowboarding on the Tasman Glacier sightseeing (including landing) and 20 minutes helicopter snow mountain landing. The snow on the plane is higher than the helicopter, which is very suitable for families who want to go to the glacier, but there are families with children under 8 who cannot participate in the glacier hiking. They can enjoy the whole view of New Zealand's first peak, Cook Peak, and scatter a wild on the Tasman glacier. Helicopter snowfall is more suitable for budget is not high, but want to experience helicopter air sightseeing, and want to get close to friends of the snow mountain. No matter which one you choose, you will not disappoint!

nzd155 reported a morning cruise group. Yesterday's rainy day, the sun was shining. On the hotel set off on the bus and said the precautions. Get off after about 10 minutes and continue to walk for 20 minutes. Come to the glacier lake, put on a life jacket and board the boat. The guide will explain the current glacier ablation, showing color, hardness, etc. It will also be close to let everyone feel. Finally, a quick cruise. Early in the morning, cold, remember to bring a warm hat and gloves.

How come to New Zealand not to come to Tasman glacier, this morning to the Tasman glacier in Mount Cook, New Zealand's largest glacier. The valley formed by glaciers is open, the distant peaks are snowy and magnificent, the atmosphere is magnificent, and the lakes are calm and mirrored, and the reflection is breathtaking.

There are several glaciers to visit on the South Island. We chose this Tangsman iceman. One is to be more down the road. The other is to hear that this glacier is in the middle of the South Island and is not coastal, so the weather is relatively stable and the probability of not traveling is relatively small. We drove to the helicopter yard near Lake Pukaki by ourselves. After more than half an hour of security explanations and changing clothes, we boarded the helicopter and flew six people in a plane, and landed directly on the glacier in 15 minutes. There was a guide on the glacier who would take us there, about an hour walk and then return by plane. Still quite interesting, especially the section of the ice cave. The price is about 2,500 RMB per person, and reservations are required in advance.
