We didn't need to drive anywhere so the description was slightly off, but I think this is due to the location of the glacier and can change. Such an amazing experience so i can't recommend it more.

Unfortunately there was an issue w the buggy so we had to hike up to the platform, it was fairly steep and while it wasn’t terrible, with a kiddo in tow it wasn’t the best and took away from the experience. I don’t think this is normal though and would fully try this again if we come back!”
