Two Wellington meclicnl men, Dr. Alan Tennent and 1- . . A. Doctor, have recently been on a visit to the glacial regions on the West Coast. They returned to Wellington very much impressed with all they saw, and especially with the value of such a trip from a health point of view. They made the trip from Waiho Gorge to the Hermitage, via Graham's Saddle, and back via the Copland Pass. In an aeroplane, piloted by Mr J. C. Mercer, Dr. Doctor flew from South Westland to Pembroke, Otago, and back, and Dr. Tennent went up over the icefields between the Franz Josef Glacier anu Mounts Tasman and Cook. They were away a fortnight altogether. Dr. Tennent said it was a magnificent trip, and that it was surprising to him that many more people did not make it. Quite apart from the wonderful scenery, the ice work and the rock climbing were most interesting. The trip also had much to recommend it from a health point of yiew.
