#outdooradventure Today was an unforgettable adventure! I hiked to the majestic Mt Cook and Tasman Glacier Viewpoint, and the breathtaking views left me speechless. The challenging trail was rewarded with stunning vistas of New Zealand's highest peak, glaciers, and turquoise lakes. The sheer scale and beauty of the Southern Alps was awe-inspiring. This hike was a true test of endurance, but the sense of accomplishment and the unforgettable scenery made every step worth it.

🌟 Highlights: At the top of the Southern Alps, at an altitude of 12,218 ft (3,724 m), the relatively high altitude and latitude have given birth to three glaciers: Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Glacier, and Tasman Glacier. The first two are located on the west coast, while Tasman Glacier is located within the range of Mount Cook. This is a glacier that visitors can easily reach without experiencing low temperatures, oxygen deficiency, or altitude sickness. The most direct way is to take a helicopter 🚁 to enjoy the view from the air and land on the glacier snow top, where the entire glacier is within reach. There are two helicopter 🚁 companies operating the glacier air tour and snow landing project. Southern Lakes' take-off point is closer to the glacier, while Helicopter Line's take-off point is slightly farther away. Both companies offer 20-minute, 30-minute, 40-minute, and longer flight routes. The photos in this note were taken during the 40-minute flight route and snow landing, with views of Tasman Glacier, ice lakes and rivers, continuous peaks, and the distant blue sky. A short flight, an unforgettable experience!

#magicalxmastrip Tasman Glacier is the largest glacier in New Zealand, and one of several large glaciers which flow south and east towards the Mackenzie Basin from the Southern Alps in New Zealand's South Island. The ice cubes on the lake are different. Some are crystal clear and have smooth surfaces. The inverted ice cubes like the ones in the picture are particularly dense and melt three times slower than ordinary ice cubes. Even so, 40 years ago, this lake was once covered by glaciers, but now it has become the lake in front of you. The big ice blocks you see in front of you seem to have been there for a long time, and they may disappear soon. Thank you for being here until we arrived 🧊 #glacier #naturalwonders #newzealand

The Tasman Glacier viewpoint is not far from Mount Cook. It is a glacier viewpoint with a very well-made walkway. It is not difficult to walk, but it is narrow and quite high up. People who are afraid of heights may shiver a bit. 😅 When I walked up, I was so amazed 🤩 Wow, it was so beautiful!!! There was no one at all. It is a truly beautiful 360-degree viewpoint. It is the view that I voted as the most beautiful on this trip. I was so impressed that I don't know how to explain it. As for the glacier, you can't see much. It is so far away. But it is 100/10 here. 🩵💕⛰️: I recommend walking carefully because the path is narrow. #wintertravel #tasmanglacier #newzealand #travelabroad #newzealand #travelnewzealand

Here is a guide to Tasman Glacier: Preparation: Documents: Make sure you have a valid New Zealand visa and passport or other travel documents. Clothing and equipment: Warm clothing, such as down jackets, outdoor jackets, thermal underwear, etc. Although the temperature on the glacier is not extremely cold, you still need to keep warm. Waterproof pants and shoes, as there may be melting snow in the area near the glacier. Sunglasses, as the sunlight on the glacier is strong, and wearing sunglasses can protect your eyes. Sunscreen, as the ultraviolet rays are strong in high-altitude areas, and you need to apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Gloves, hats, scarves, etc., to keep your head and hands warm. Photography equipment: Prepare cameras, mobile phones, and other photography equipment to capture the magnificent scenery of the glacier, but be sure to protect your equipment from the cold to prevent it from affecting performance. Other items: Prepare an appropriate amount of food and water to replenish energy. Bring a light backpack to carry items. If you are going on a glacier hike, it is recommended to bring a small first aid kit. Transportation: Self-driving: If you are driving in New Zealand, you can navigate to Mount Cook National Park, where Tasman Glacier is located. It takes about 3–4 hours to drive from Christchurch. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful, but be sure to drive safely, especially on mountain roads. Public transportation: You can take a long-distance bus to a town near Mount Cook, and then transfer to local transportation or join a tour group to Tasman Glacier. This option is relatively economical, but the travel time may be longer and less convenient. Ways to play: Helicopter tour: Take a helicopter to overlook the full view of Tasman Glacier from the air and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the glacier and the surrounding mountains and lakes. This is a very exciting and unique experience, but the price is relatively high. Helicopter tours usually last 30–60 minutes, and you can choose different flight routes and durations. Glacier hiking: This is a way to get closer to Tasman Glacier and experience the charm of the glacier firsthand. Led by a professional guide, you can wear crampons and other equipment, walk on the glacier, and explore the unique glacier landscapes such as ice caves and ice towers. Glacier hiking requires a certain amount of physical strength and endurance, and the trip usually lasts 2–4 hours. You need to book in advance and learn about the relevant precautions. Boat tour: Take a boat tour on Lake Tasman to enjoy the spectacular view of the glacier extending from the lake and the icebergs floating on the lake. This option is relatively relaxing and suitable for travelers who do not want to engage in strenuous activities. Best time to visit: New Zealand's summer (December–February) is the peak tourist season, with warmer weather and faster glacier melting. You may see more glacier meltwater and unique glacier landscapes, but there are also more tourists. In winter (June–August), the temperature is lower, and the glacier is relatively more stable, but the weather is colder, so you need to keep warm. Spring and autumn (March–May, September–November) have moderate temperatures and are also good times to visit Tasman Glacier. Safety precautions: Whether you are taking a helicopter tour or glacier hiking, you must strictly follow the instructions and requirements of the staff, especially when taking a helicopter. Fasten your seat belt and follow the pilot's instructions. The terrain on the glacier is complex, with many crevices and ice caves. During hiking, you must follow the guide closely and not leave the group without permission to avoid danger. Due to glacier melting and movement, there may be dangers such as falling rocks. Pay attention to your surroundings and stay alert. High-altitude areas may cause altitude sickness. Learn about the relevant coping measures in advance. If you experience any discomfort, inform the staff in time.

In the morning, we first went to Hooker Glacier, which is a 10 km round trip. It was snowing early in the morning, so only the first bridge was open. After inquiring, we were told that it would be open in the afternoon depending on the situation, at least until the snow stopped or the snowplow team cleared a path. We then moved to Tasman Glacier. Because it was still snowing slightly in the morning, there weren't many tourists out. We went down to the river and, seeing no one around, bravely took a dip in the glacier water. How can you not be crazy when you're young? Due to global warming, the glacier is retreating very quickly, with only a few ice chunks left. In a few years, the glacier might be gone. The snow stopped in the afternoon, so we planned to unlock Hooker Glacier the next day.

This is the Tasman Glacier in Mount Cook, New Zealand! I think the Tasman Glacier may have been mentioned briefly in elementary school textbooks. I had forgotten everything about it until I went to the Tasman Glacier 😅 The Tasman Glacier is formed by snow piling up on the powdery ice field at an altitude of 2,300 meters! It is said that the deepest part of the Tasman Glacier is about 3 million years old! I have included a photo of the glacier, and it is very transparent, with air bubbles in it. The glacier floating now is relatively new, but it was created decades or hundreds of years ago! The floating part of the glacier is only a small part, and the part in the lake is actually very large! The glacier in the photo was very large, so I think there is probably something huge submerged in the lake! To go to the Tasman Glacier, I recommend signing up for a glacier tour from the hotel before going to Mount Cook! Apparently you can see it by climbing the mountain, but you'll definitely be overwhelmed if you get close, so I recommend a tour ☺️ #New Zealand #Furitabee #Mount Cook #Tasman Glacier

A must-see for glacier tours. Glaciers are a unique landscape that can only be seen in documentaries. In New Zealand, glaciers are even rarer, and low-altitude glaciers are even rarer to see. Here, you can have a glimpse of the glacier and feel the charm of the light blue ice. 🏔Why choose New Zealand’s glaciers? 1. A rare thing: Glaciers are a rare thing in our world. Even if you are used to seeing ice and snow in the north, the ice you see is ordinary white and transparent. New Zealand's low-altitude glaciers are the "giant pandas" of glaciers. There are very few countries with low-altitude glaciers. 2. Complete and unique: Unlike ordinary glaciers, New Zealand's low-altitude glaciers have not only experienced climate melting, forming unique rivers and rainforests, but also left behind a beautiful light blue sheen. This is a place of wonder. 3. Unusual landscape: On the west coast of New Zealand, you can see glaciers, rainforests, rivers and oceans all at once. This unique landscape can only be seen in New Zealand in the world. 【Recommended Glacier】❄ New Zealand has many glaciers, but there are differences between open and closed glaciers. Here, we recommend three representative glaciers for you: Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Glacier, and Tasman Glacier. 【Introduction to Glacier】🚗 Franz Josef GlacierFranz Josef Glacier Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier are only a few dozen kilometers apart. They are sister attractions to Fox Glacier. They are both very famous low-altitude glaciers in New Zealand. Fox GlacierFox Glacier The Fox Glacier is a miracle: it stretches from snow-capped mountains to temperate rainforest, although it also experienced melting due to climate, forming the Fox River. But it is very complete and more approachable because of the geography. Tasman Glacier Tasman Lake is formed by the melting of Tasman Glacier. Tasman Glacier Lake is one of the only glacial lakes in the world open to tourists. Tasman Glacier is one of the attractions in Mount Cook National Park. You have to go to Mount Cook first. Then check in at The Hermitage Hotel and take a cruise to join the glacier adventure and watch the glaciers. However, the operation time of Glacier Adventure is generally from September to May of the following year. You can only participate if it matches your travel time. If your travel time is from September to May and you happen to be going to Mount Cook, you can plan to go and see it!

I played all the way, and the Tasman Glacier Lake is still beyond expectations. The track is easy! The scenery is stunning! The last time I was so beautiful was the Sap Mountain in Tibet. But the infrastructure and the degree of easy access are not at the same level. NZ is a place that makes me exclaim how beautiful it is every day.

The Tasman Glacier, located in the Tasman Lake in Mount Cook National Park on the South Island of New Zealand, is the longest glacier in New Zealand, with a length of 27 kilometers, a width of 4 kilometers, an area of 101 square kilometers, and a thickness of up to 600 meters. It is above sea level 3000 meters and is one of the longest glaciers in the world. Tasman Glacier Hiking: Take a plane to the glacier and walk to enjoy the scenery. Take a helicopter to land on the glacier, led by a guide, wearing professional equipment, walking on the Tasman Glacier. Along the way, you can enjoy various glacier sceneries, go deep into the ice, drill ice caves, taste ice water, etc. The ice time is about 2 hours, and the whole journey is about 3-4 hours; ordinary physical tourists can. Lake Pukaki was once part of New Zealand's largest Tasman Glacier. On a clear day, you can enjoy the majestic mountain view of New Zealand's highest peak, Mt. Cook, and the snow scene of distant mountains by the lake. The large amount of glacial minerals in the lake water dyes the color of the lake water into a dreamy color like milk, and you can also enjoy this quiet moment by the lake. Go upstream to Mount Cook along Lake Pukaki, and enjoy the shock and beauty of Mount Cook up close. Have a western lunch on the mountain at noon. It is the beautiful blue milk lake on the South Island of New Zealand.

🌟Highlights: New Zealand is the last pure land in the world. It has all terrains except deserts. New Zealand's glaciers are the only two temperate glaciers in the world (the other temperate glacier country is Chile). New Zealand's glaciers were formed 4000 years ago, due to continuous snowfall at that time, the snow pressure formed glaciers. Many terrains in the South Island of New Zealand are related to the movement of glaciers. Tasman Glacier is located on a mountain about 5000 meters above sea level. It is currently the largest glacier in New Zealand, with a length of about 90 kilometers. Taking a helicopter to watch the whole panorama of Tasman Glacier is a very shocking experience. The whole process is about 45 minutes, including about 10 minutes of glacier landing. After takeoff, you can not only enjoy the largest glacier in New Zealand, but also enjoy the highest peak of New Zealand, Mount Cook. Highly recommended! 📝Note tips: When taking a helicopter to watch the glacier, you cannot bring selfie sticks, carry-on bags, etc. It is recommended to deposit before takeoff. After boarding, you must fasten your seat belt throughout the journey. When landing on the glacier, stand in the front of the plane to avoid being injured by the propeller at the back of the helicopter. 📍Detailed address: Mount Cook National Park

Tasman Glacier trail is a short drive from the Mount Cook Village with ample parking available. The hike to view the glacier is straight up, mostly on gravel stairs with no handrails. Would not recommend for those with mobility issues. The spectacular view at the top of the trail with the glacier in the distance and floating icebergs in the lake make the hike well worth it. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
