"Nature's true wonders don't disclose themselves to day-trippers. It is a place to linger" Explorer Charles Douglas (1840-1916) Glacier Country is beautiful scenery, mighty glaciers, primeval rainforests, gourmet experiences,scenic flights, family fun, ice treks, unique wildlife, meandering walking trails, awe inspiring day hikes, rugged beaches and friendly hospitality. A wonderful mild climate and an enviable setting on the South Island's West Coast makes Glacier Country an essential place to pause during any New Zealand experience. Enjoy… Breathe… Relax… Taste… Escape… Refresh in a pure refreshing environment. Glacier Country is made up of the Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier communities. The villages are about 25 minutes drive apart and both offer visitors their own unique West Coast flavour. This site is designed to introduce to you the wide range of activities, accommodation, restaurants and services at both the Franz Josef Glacier Village and the Fox Glacier Village. Choose from Glacier Country adventures like guided glacier walks and other activities such as kayaking, kiwi encounters, quad biking, buggies, skydiving and rafting. There’s also, scenic flights, horse treks, indoor ice climbing, hot pools, boat trips, the stunning mirror views of Lake Matheson and the two villages to explore. The range of accommodation in both villages includes hotels, motels, lodges, bed and breakfast’s and holiday parks set amongst rainforest and beautiful untouched scenery. Life is relaxed on the West Coast and there is a strong community spirit here, borne from the area's early isolation and pioneering history. This spirit underpins the legendary West Coast hospitality, ensuring visitors leave with warm and enduring memories.

Top of this page Common Questions and Myths about Glaciers Questions: 1. Why are there glaciers? Glaciers form where more snow falls than melts over a period of years, compacts into ice, and becomes thick enough to begin to move. That is, a snow patch becomes a glacier when the deepest layers begin to deform due to the weight of the overlying snow and ice. 2. Why are glaciers blue?

Prof. Stephen A. Nelson EENS 111 Tulane University Physical Geology Glaciers and Glaciation Glaciers constitute much of the Earth that makes up the cryosphere, the part of the Earth that remains below the freezing point of water. Most glacial ice today is found in the polar regions, above the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. While glaciers are of relatively minor importance today, evidence exists that the Earth's climate has undergone fluctuations in the past, and that the amount of the Earth's surface covered by glaciers has been much larger in the past than in the present. In fact, much of the topography in the northern part of North America, as well as in the high mountain regions of the west, owe their form to erosional and depositional processes of glaciers. The latest glaciation ended only 10,000 years ago. Definition of a glacier A glacier is a permanent (on a human time scale, because nothing on the Earth is really permanent) body of ice, consisting largely of recrystallized snow, that shows evidence of downslope or outward movement due to the pull of gravity. Types of Glaciers Mountain Glaciers - Relatively small glaciers which occur at higher elevations in mountainous regions.

Global Warming Science - www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming Climatic Events – Glaciers [last update: 2010/06/11] While the global warming scare got rolling, other climatic events such as receding glaciers have also garnered much alarmist attention. Glaciers are the focus of this document. Other documents in this Climatic Events series include: Hurricanes Precipitation (including Tornadoes) Polar Ice Caps Sea Level Animals (including Polar Bears) Human Disease / Death (including Malaria and Extreme Weather) North Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation / Gulf Stream Glaciers An article in Science Daily (“Southern Glaciers Grow Out of Step with North” [ http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090430144535.htm ]) states: “ Overall, glaciers around the world have been declining since about 1860 , with the exception of a brief advance in Switzerland in the 1980s, New Zealand in the late 1970s through today, and a few other places. Most glaciers around the world (alpine and Greenland ice-sheet glaciers) have been melting as part of the long-term warming trend since the end of the Little Ice Age in the 1700s (although some are actually increasing). The recession of glaciers started long before anthropogenic CO2 levels rose.

49. Alaska Glaciers: Columbia, Portage, Matanuska And Others Alaska's tidewater glaciers include those in Kenai Fjords National Park and Glacier National Park. Other wellknown glaciers include Juneau's Mendenhall Glacier, Exit Glacier http://www.alaskascenes.com/alaskaglaciers.html

Home About Alaska Scenes Glaciers in Alaska Icefields and an estimated 100,000 glaciers cover 5 percent of Alaska's surface and they are easily viewed by visitors to Juneau, Valdez, Whittier, Seward , Anchorage or the Matanuska Valley. Cruises that take visitors close to the face of tidewater glaciers offer visitors the opportunity of watching them calve icebergs into the sea. Columbia Glacier , one of the largest tidewater glaciers in the state, can be viewed from boats departing from Valdez or Whittier. A terminal moraine keeps boats some distance from the glacier's face. The glacier can also sometimes be seen from the air on flights between Seattle or Juneau and Anchorage. On flights north, request a window seat on the right side of the plane. The Harding Icefield in Kenai Fjords National Park covers 300 square miles. Its tidewater glaciers can be viewed from tour boats that depart from Seward's small boat harbor.The face of an inland glacier, Exit Glacier, can be approached on trails from a parking lot at the end of Exit Glacier Road, which intersects the Seward Highway just north of Seward. Portage Glacier Mendenhall Glacier , just north of Juneau, is the most accessible of the glaciers in the 1,500-square-mile Juneau Icefield. It can be reached on the Glacier Highway. Other glaciers in the area can be viewed on boat or flightseeing tours or by helicopter.

They exist in environments of high and low precipitation and in many temperature regimes; they are found on all the continents except Australia and they span the globe from high altitudes in equatorial regions to the polar ice caps. There is a delicate balance between climatic factors that allows snow to remain beyond its season. ... Scientists and skiers alike can note that within a few days of falling, snowflakes have noticeably begun to change. ... The snowflakes are compressed under the weight of the overlying snowpack. Individual crystal near the melting point have slick liquid edges allowing them to glide along other crystal planes and to readjust the space between them. Where the crystals touch they bond together, squeezing the air between them to the surface or into bubbles. During summer we might see the crystal metamorphosis occur more rapidly because of water percolation between the crystals. By summer's end the result is firn a compacted snow with the appearance of wet sugar, but with a hardness that makes it resistant to all but the most dedicated snow shovelers! Several years are usually required for the snow to settle and to season into the substance we call

Educational Videos and Lessons for K-12 School Kids HOME : Glaciers Glaciers Glaciers are large, slow-moving rivers of ice, rock and sediment that move under the influence of gravity. They are formed by accumulation and compaction of falling snow. Glaciers grow and shrink in response to climate, and cover around 10% of Earth's land area. Glaciers are the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, and directly influence the sea level variation. View Pictures / Create a Presentation Pick from 1000s of Photos, Text and Share it Online !
