Fox Glacier

Fox Glacier is a stunning glacier located on New Zealand's South Island, within the Westland Tai Poutini National Park. It stretches approximately 13 kilometers (8 miles) and is known for its dramatic ice formations and accessibility to tourists. Unlike many glaciers worldwide, Fox Glacier descends into a rainforest, creating a unique landscape. Visitors can experience guided walks, helicopter tours, and ice climbing, providing a close look at the glacier's mesmerizing blue ice and surrounding mountains. It is part of New Zealand's rich natural heritage and showcases the effects of climate change, as glaciers worldwide are retreating.
