Our helicopter pilot Mike was a very experienced guy. The flight was smooth and we got really close to the glaciers.
Expensive, but worth the experience

Patience is required if the weather does not really want to play along. Unfortunately, as with us, the cloud cover over the glacier can close quickly in minutes. Then it's time to wait, because the helicopters only start with sufficiently clear visibility. Therefore, you should always allow a little more time, because the employees know the weather phenomena over the glacier very well and can assess the situation. With us it took 45min until we could fly again and it was an unforgettable experience.
Perfect flight

It was amazing to do heli landing on the glacier. The pilot Mark is great! He brought us around before landing on the Franz Joseph glacier. Thank you!
