Just fascinating seeing the glacier from the air, and the crevices in the snow. Brilliant experience. Expensive, but good value. Creating a wonderful memory - probably would not do it twice. Perhaps the guide could have been more informative when we were on the glacier, but if you asked the questions, he had the answers. Certainly in flight information was very interesting.
