But cycling is not the way to go in this land of ice; it’s much better to take the helicopter.<br />
The whir of the chopper’s blades sounded like a gigantic insect when it came in to land,<br />
sending a blast of wind towards the small group of waiting travelers. The athletic figure<br />
of outdoor guide Murray Naylor crouched low beside the helicopter as he beckoned each<br />
person over one by one.<br />
This was the start of my heli-hike – and within a few minutes the helicopter was flying<br />
over an immense river of ice that tumbled down a densely forested valley towards the sea.<br />
After superb panoramic views of the surrounding snow-capped mountains, we landed<br />
high up on top of the glacier between the icefalls for the start of our two-hour guided trip.<br />
