A Mount Cook Airlines ski-plane near the top of the Tasman Glacier. Mount Cook is prominent on the skyline. Glacier landings have proved a popular tourist attraction since Sir Henry Wigley first landed a ski-equipped Auster on the snow on September 22, 1955. Over the years the airline’s fleet has grown to 12 Cessna 185 and three Pilatus Porter ski-planes. They carry 50,000 passengers a year to the glacier. —Photograph by LES BLOXHAM
