This morning we had to get up early to go to the glacier. Some of our group booked a helicopter trip up the glacier, so that they could visit a more unspoiled part of the glacier. I did not do this, mostly from a financial perspective, and besides I had pre-booked this walk, so decided not to change this. In a small bus we headed for the end of the glacier and after that had to hike for 1 to 1,5 hours to reach the glacier itself. This took so long, since we had...

During the ride we had some rain and it was pretty cold when we reached our lunch destination ...
