Due to global warming and other climatic processes, New Zealand glaciers are retreating. The Tasman Glacier, now 17 miles long and 1965 feet deep, is melting and calving at an increasing rate. The terminal lake is rapidly expanding due to the glacier's change from a 'melting' to a 'calving and melting' terminus. This leads to icebergs breaking away into the growing lake. The Terminal Lake is flanked by lateral moraines that stand 665 feet tall, a reminder of the glacier's previous scale and grandeur during the last ice age which ended in 1890.
