The emergency helicopter service, Rega, had a very busy long holiday weekend.
Crews flew more than 150 missions across the country - mainly to rescue hikers.
The biggest emergency was on Friday when a chunk of glacier fell and killed two people, one aged 65 and the other 40, and injured nine others. The group was part of a 17 strong mountaineering team.
But the work was mainly helping injured walkers and transfer flights between hospitals.
