Fox Glacier

Fox Glacier sits beside the Fox Glacier on New Zealand’s West Coast, where ice from the Southern Alps reaches down toward temperate rainforest. The settlement lies near Westland Tai Poutini National Park, in a striking stretch of the South Island between high alpine terrain and the Tasman Sea. Known in Māori as Te Moeka o Tuawe, the glacier received its English name in 1872 after William Fox, who was then New Zealand’s prime minister. Its changing ice front and the contrast between glacier country and dense native forest define the area’s character.
