Fox Glacier (Te Moeka o Tuawe in Maori)

Kettle hole filled with water carrying suspended sediment (hence the green colour) on the braid plain of Fox River in 1992. Buried ice from the now disappearing 1920s moraine has melted, resulting in this steep-sided depression. From one year to the next these features fill up with sediment and new ones form.
