These are at Mount Cook. The bridges are a walk towards it. Most bridges we saw all had hinged anchors. Maybe for eartquakes? Some of the shots have the kids on them so you can see the scale of things. You could hear the galcier on the montain crack at times but we did not see any ice fall, we missed it.

Winnie thanks so much for that shot of Gravity Canyon. My husband & then 11 year old did the Flying Fox last year ( I got to babaysit at the bottom with video camera in hand!!) and they both said the view from up top was amazing
