Fox Glacier, located in Westland Tai Poutini National Park on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, is one of the most accessible glaciers in the world. Named after Sir William Fox, a former Prime Minister of New Zealand, this stunning natural formation stretches approximately 13 kilometers from the Southern Alps down to the lush rainforest. The glacier descends from a height of over 2,600 meters, offering a unique juxtaposition of ice and verdant surroundings.
