A gentle 2 km walk up to Ice face of the Fox Glacier. The rugged splendour of the U shaped glacial Valley with markers and interpretations to help understand the past advances and retreats of the ice sheet.
20000 years ago the glacier terminated approximately 10 km out into the Tasman sea. 10000 years ago the valley was full of ice . The clash of two tectonic plates is evident by vertical rock strata in the valley.
