我这辈子，第一次近距离接触直升机，原来其引擎发出的噪音是那么响的；更令人雀跃的是，我要登上它直往冰川，再落冰行走攀顶了！ The very first time in my lifetime to see a helicopter such close, and so I know how vibrant and loud it was for the noise generated by its engine. The fantastic part is, I am going to take a ride in it and go up to the glacier! I will land on the ice up to the mountain!
好了，直升机放下我们，落地了。得为我的攀山靴子装上鞋底钉。Okay, so this was how we landed. I struggled to fix crampoon to my hiking boot here. 
领队给我们一伙人讲解攀冰之行得注意的安全措施。The Heli-hike guide explained to all of us about the safety precautions to mind when walking on the glacier. 
好，走吧，领队先生，辛苦你了，为我们开冰劈路。Okay! Let's go! Mr. Guide, thanks for your hard work, slash the ice and lead a path for us!
就指靠你的鬼斧劈工，化寒冰为小道了。So we're counting on your strokes of an axe, let's march on.
She jumped! I caught her motion! She's the Germany girl who took the helicopter with me earlier on. :) 她飞身跃过！
Hmm, it is getting hard to climb. 使劲攀山。
我看似神气，可是和那些洋人比较起来，我好想走得像企鹅似的，使力保持平衡啊，免得滑倒。This is me who is a little bit clumsy and usually got to walk like a penguin to avoid slippery.
“嘿！瞧见我吗？” "Harlow! Can you see me?"
白茫茫冰川之中，我是如此渺小。I am too little at this far-reaching glacier.
Melting. 融化中。
touching the ice, oh! it's really ice, crystal clear! 摸摸冰，感觉很新奇，真的是冰吔。
真的很壮观。It is truly a nature's masterpiece, we're just speechless to express our wonderment.
Oh! We've walked a distance, it was a little hard though for a short distance. 短短一段距离，可是走起来还挺吃力的。
好了，是时候乘直升机下去了，这里始终是属于大自然的。Ok, it's time to leave. This place belongs to the great nature.
That's a fine sunny day. The temperature is quite high, yet icy glacier is able to maintain its volume, its phenomenon strikes our curiousity. Oops, I am not good in Geography. 
以前远远眺望冰川，我看到的像是白石啊，来之前也不知道冰川为何。远远看，仅是慨叹其特殊的面貌，现在才知道，冰川就是会移动的冰之河，以你肉眼看不到的速度无时无刻在流动着，为何会形成如此构造？真的很神奇！
I used to stare at glacier far away, for me, it was like a bunch of white rocks at the mountains. Before I came to Franz Josef, I didn't even know the meaning of "glacier", I got to check the dictionary. Look from far, I was only amazed by its unique appearence. Now only I knew, glacier is a moving icy river, it moves from time to time with a speed that is invisible to us. How on earth there is such structure? This is truly amazing!
四周围的山，有小瀑布啊。 Some hills that surround Franz Josef Glacier, look, there are cascades!
到了! 但不能走得再近了，只能在安全范围走动，因为石崩的可能性还是存在的。
警惕游客的告示牌。The warning signboard to get visitors on guard. 
这地方好小，市中心只有那两条街，只有一家卖日常用品的小超市, 几家为游客提供冰川导游、直升机和户外活动服务的公司，游客服务中心，两间纪念品店，一个加油站，几间Café，还有我工作的那家酒店(占地还蛮大的)，其他的一些旅馆，就没了。我想，好多时候，市镇的游客还多过其居民呢。
居民自愿性质的小消防局，和我的家乡的一样呀，规模也差不多一样，大概里面摆一辆"养军千日"的消防车而已。
我迫不急待地想去看冰川，沿路也看到了从山上的冰川疾疾而流下的水，那强而有劲的浪声，已叫人惊叹，大自然的威力不容忽视。
带着愉快的心情，我就购得这一台脚踏车了,也不打不相识地认识了这祖籍广州的卖主夫妇，他们让我参观了他们的菜园，除了种植好多迎合洋人市场的蔬菜，也种了好多只有中国人会吃，洋人不会吃的蔬菜。他们还告诉我，以后有回到Nelson,他们可以出租间房给我。
我忍不住，又买冰淇淋吃了。
