Fox Glacier
Fox Glacier is one of New Zealand's most accessible glaciers, a 13-km tongue of ice descending from the Southern Alps to within 245 meters of sea level in a temperate rainforest on the West Coast of the South Island. Named after a New Zealand prime minister, it can be explored on foot to the terminal face or by helicopter landing on the upper icefield. Like most glaciers worldwide, Fox has retreated significantly in recent decades due to climate change, making visits increasingly poignant.
