In 2009, for instance, two brothers crossed a safety barrier on New Zealand’s Fox Glacier and were buried ...

It’s not an increase in global warming causing these deaths, it’s an increase in stupid.

On 21 November 2015, seven people were killed when a Eurocopter Écureuil (squirrel) helicopter on a scenic flight crashed on the glacier.

In the late 1980s, the then-wife and I took a helo flight up that glacier. We landed on it. And yeah, they packed the helo.

Can't remember the other glacier, but I had her stand behind the warning sign. It was receding glacier, and the danger zone was much farther back.
