HI Everyone.
I am buzzing and it is not the two or three beers i have had. Today was just great. I did 2 lots of heli hikes and found the biggest ice cave i have ever seen. It was soooooo big i could have put about 20 people standing in the main chamber and still had room for more. The entrance was quite small and you had to slide down a small shaft but once you were in it opened up huge!!!!!!
I have not got any photos but the people i took in have promised to send me theirs.


Then in the afternoon/evening i got to do a terminal walk with a couple from England. While we were at the front of the glacier part of the river cave fell in and dammed the river. Then the river burst out so we got to see this really cool Glacial Surge. The first photo is of Jo and Andrew (hope i got the names right guys) looking back at some of the big ice blocks that were left behind.




































These two were shot a few minutes appart. The first one was actually the second one shot. You can see the watter starting to break through the ice dam.
Just after this it went nuts and burst. I have a video clip but am not sure i can post it here.
