Continuing on down the ear-popping descent low over the upper icefall of Franz Josef Glacier towards the lower icefall of the glacier trunk where the flaps are retracted and we level off above the glacier terminal, then climb out and cross the Fritz Range high above the Waikukupa Valley, fly across the Baumann Glacier and then the Victoria Glacier as we climb towards the névé of the Fox Glacier.



Descending over the crevasses and seracs of the upper icefall of Franz Josef Glacier towards the terminal face where glacial ice extends down to the level of the lowland rainforest — 10:43am on Easter Monday, 24th March 2008.
