Isbreer i Aoraki/Mount Cook nasjonalpark

Glaciers of Aoraki / Mount Cook

Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park contains some of New Zealand's most significant ice formations, including the 27-kilometer-long Tasman Glacier, the country's longest. These glaciers, such as the Hooker and Mueller, originate high in the Southern Alps and feed into prominent proglacial lakes. The region's glacial landscape is characterized by deep crevasses, moraine-covered ice, and terminal lakes that have formed due to rapid retreat over the last century, providing a direct look at the area's geological transformation.
