New Zealand,November 21: A helicopter that crashed Saturday on glacier in New Zealand at about 11 a.m all seven people aboard are believed to have been killed, police said.
The wreckage of a helicopter was located inside a crevasse on Fox Glacier, but rescuers were unable to reach it due to the difficult terrain, police said in a statement. They said that the pilot and six passengers are believed dead.
A rescue helicopter used a winch to lower a paramedic and an alpine rescue team to the vicinity of the crash, said Vince Cholewa, a spokesman for Maritime New Zealand.

He said there was low cloud in the area, but otherwise the rescuers had not reported being hampered by the weather.
