Franz Josef Glacier
The Franz Josef Glacier is found in the Westland Tai Poutini National Park and descends from New Zealand's Southern Alps to 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level. The glacier exhibits a cyclic pattern of advance and retreat. By mid-2010, its latest cycle of advance had ended; it is currently in a state of retreat.Photograph: Jörg Hempel
