This unrivalled experience combines an exhilarating helicopter flight with the thrill of exploring the gleaming icy sculptures and caves of this spectacular glacier that would otherwise be virtually inaccessible.

Your flight will offer magnificent scenic views of this dramatic landscape as you fly over the impressive pinnacles of the lower icefall, then circle the pristine upper icefall and the stunning Victoria Falls before landing at a remote site.  This picturesque part of the glacier is just the beginning of your expedition and from here you will be able to explore an area between two ice falls where the movement of the ice has created some of the most amazing ice crevasses and arches ever seen. 

Both your flight to the glacier and your hike on the mighty river of ice take place under the guidance of expert pilots and guides to ensure that you get the utmost enjoyment, safety and comfort from your exciting trip.
