Having never been on a helicopter, we did not know what to expect. We were blown away by the amazing beauty, majestic mountains and how close we could get to see so much of the landscape. The glacier landing was magnificent! We had the opportunity to walk around on the glacier and take some phenomenal photos! This is an experience you will remember for a lifetime...a must do!!
