"A glacier (US /ˈɡleɪʃər/ or UK /ˈɡlæsiə/) is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries." That is the Wikileaks' definition of a glacier. Today I saw one - or did I? I assume so, it was buried under tons of snow! ☃ It was rather warm in the snow, a very sunny day. We have snow in Sweden too, sometimes just about as much as up in that mountain: We were flying in a helicopter to get up to the glacier. Cool, yet somewhat worrying as it was not as "steady" as an airplane, and there were no parachutes, but we (= three Spanish guys, a couple, and I) made it all the way to the glacier - and all the way back! I'm glad I got to experience this, who knows how long glaciers will be around? 😐 I want to thank the ones who helped me with this tour: Russell (closest to camera), and Tom (blue sweater) - thanks a million! 😘 Today is CupCake Day in New Zealand! When I came back from the glacier helicopter tour, I needed a cupcake. I was walking around, and a young lady led me here: And I bought this, a chocolate mud cake with a caramel topping. Yum! 😋
