'Brave people enjoy the world first' 5hours snow mountain hiking challenge

Compared to the beautiful scenery of New Zealand, I think what is more memorable is the outdoor project. A day of challenging the limit, shooting the starry sky until three o'clock in the morning the night before, and hurriedly eating a few biscuits in the morning and driving more than 100 kilometers to hike the Cook Mountain Glacier. Because I was not addicted to glacier hiking for three hours in Iceland before, I specifically chose the five-hour Hard mode this time... . The three-hour and five-hour hiking projects are not only different in time, but also different in equipment. The five-hour hike requires more professional hiking equipment, including snow shoes, trekking poles, safety harnesses and other equipment. Led by the ATG guide, the six of us were connected by a safety rope and walked on the snow in snow shoes. . You can take a helicopter or a glider up the mountain. Because the altitude of flight and hiking is high, you can see many hanging glaciers on both sides of the canyon and the twin peaks of New Zealand - Cook Mountain and Tasman Mountain. You can vaguely see the blue ice cave on the snow mountain, and the snow underneath is glowing blue. The guide said that the snow on the mountain can be eaten. I couldn't help but tasted it. It was light and tasteless, like a shaved ice without sugar. . Lying on the snow and looking at the rolling hills around, the dazzling sunlight made me close my eyes, and I really wanted to sleep. The snow mountain hiking under the scorching sun is very hot, it is recommended to bring more water. The beauty seen by the naked eye during the snow mountain hike cannot be captured by the camera, and this experience is even more precious. For friends who like outdoor hiking, I recommend you to experience it!
