Fox Glacier (Te Moeka o Tuawe in Maori)

A prominent tree-covered, ice-cored moraine from the 1920s used to cross the valley near the present-day car park. A combination of exposure of the surface to ablation by humans and undercutting by the river has resulted in rapid degradation of the moraine in the last two decade and little now remains (2006).
