Tasman Glacier Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Tasman Glacier is located on the east side of Mount Cook, with a total length of 29 kilometers and a width of 3.2 kilometers. As the Tasman Glacier continues to naturally shorten, the melting of the glaciers slowly began to form Tasman Lake (commonly known as Ice Weir Lake), which has been around since the 1990s. The lake began to grow significantly and became the source of many lakes in the South Island. Due to the huge force of the glacier moving, the two sides of the valley were cut abnormally and completely, leaving a large number of glacial traces of different periods, and a large number of black rocks interlaced in the ice and snow.

Tasman Glacier (Tasman Glacier ) is located in Tasman Lake in Mount Cook National Park on New Zealand's South Island. It is the longest glacier in New Zealand, 27 kilometers long, 4 kilometers wide, 101 square kilometers in area, 600 meters thick, 3,000 meters above sea level, and is one of the longest glaciers in the world. The Tasman glaciers are slowly slipping at speeds ranging from 23 to 45 cm a day, and the slowness is almost invisible. As a representative of the closest glacier to the ocean, especially since 1995, glaciers have rapidly declined, and the front edge of the glaciers has retreated nearly 1 km.
Experience a different scenery during an adventure The feeling of flying over the three major glaciers is really shocking. The snow is thick and soft, reminding me of the snow scene of Jungfrau. For our children who grew up in the south, it is still super excited! Stepping on one of the world's longest glaciers, it is finally worth the trip! Feeling super excited! It is said that in recent years due to global warming, the glacier melting speed has become faster, so it is recommended that friends go to go as early as possible!
45 minutes snowboarding on the Tasman Glacier sightseeing (including landing) and 20 minutes helicopter snow mountain landing. The snow on the plane is higher than the helicopter, which is very suitable for families who want to go to the glacier, but there are families with children under 8 who cannot participate in the glacier hiking. They can enjoy the whole view of New Zealand's first peak, Cook Peak, and scatter a wild on the Tasman glacier. Helicopter snowfall is more suitable for budget is not high, but want to experience helicopter air sightseeing, and want to get close to friends of the snow mountain. No matter which one you choose, you will not disappoint!
nzd155报了个早上的巡航团。一反昨天的阴雨天,阳光灿烂啊。在酒店集合上大巴出发,说了注意事项。大概10多分钟后下车,继续行走20分钟吧。来到冰川湖边,穿上救生衣,上艇。向导会解说目前冰川消融状况,显现颜色,硬度等。也会开近让大家感受。最后来个快速巡航。一大早,冷啊,记得带保暖帽子,手套。
来新西兰怎么能不来塔斯曼冰川,今天上午来到库克山的塔斯曼冰川,这是新西兰最大的冰川。冰川形成的山谷开阔,远处山峰白雪皑皑景色宏伟,连绵起伏,大气磅礴,近处湖泊平静似镜,倒影叹为观止。
There are several glaciers to visit on the South Island. We chose this Tangsman iceman. One is to be more down the road. The other is to hear that this glacier is in the middle of the South Island and is not coastal, so the weather is relatively stable and the probability of not traveling is relatively small. We drove to the helicopter yard near Lake Pukaki by ourselves. After more than half an hour of security explanations and changing clothes, we boarded the helicopter and flew six people in a plane, and landed directly on the glacier in 15 minutes. There was a guide on the glacier who would take us there, about an hour walk and then return by plane. Still quite interesting, especially the section of the ice cave. The price is about 2,500 RMB per person, and reservations are required in advance.
