ABC Wednesday - T is for Tasman Glacier


This week I thought I'd post some more photographs from our 2001 tour of the The Land of the Long White Cloud.

Here we are flying over the Tasman Glacier with Mounts Cook and Tasman skylined.


This second photograph sees us looking South from Mount Cook over Tasman Glacier Terminal and Lake Pukaki.

For more T posts visit ABC Wednesday.

  1. You have taught me something - I didn't know they had snow on Tasmania.

  3. Spectacular scenery, especially when viewed from your plane.
    A moving, living glacier is such an exciting nature thing. I stood on a glacier in Norway and was in awe.
    Thanks for this one.

  5. I'm curious if they are receding like the polar caps of the northern hemisphere.

    Beautiful, now.

  9. Lovely! Looks like you were in a small plane; I'm not sure I would be brave enough to fly over the mountains in one. This must have been quite a thrill.

  11. Doesn't nature just stop you in your tracks? Beautiful photo. New Zealand seems to have such different and varied topography to anything I have ever seen. Thanks for giving me a glimpse.

  12. Incredibly fascinating. The smaller glaciers I've seen exhibit a blue color but this is clearly white. Beautiful.
