Humbling experience
Good to do and very knowledgeable staff, just very sad on a personnel level to know how far the glacier used to go and when it will be completely gone. I'm really glad I got to experience it and see it. Best water I have ever drunk from there!!! Lots of other buses and people on the glacier at the same time. Booked the Skywalk separate but still used the same transport provided by the company.
Sadly, slowly receeding due to global warming. Act now!
Take a sip from the Glacial stream.
Great experience.
