Franz Josef Glacier New Zealand

Franz Josef Glacier / Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere is a 12 km (7.5 mi) long temperate maritime glacier located in Westland Tai Poutini National Park on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Together with Fox Glacier, 20 km (12 mi) to the south, and a third glacier, it descends from the Southern Alps to less than 300 meters (980 ft) above sea level. The area surrounding the two glaciers is part of Te Wahipounamu, a World Heritage Site. The river that flows from the terminal face of Franz Josef Glacier is known as the Waiho River.
