Photograph from Captain Walter Kilroy Harris NATURE HAS CARVED FANTASTIC CAVERNS IN THE TASMAN GLACIER These ice caves, that glint with a greenish-blue light, are formed largely by melting during the summer months.Later thearches become soweakened bythe action that they collapse. The Tasman, largest of the glaciers of the Southern Alps, is more than 18 miles long and averages amile and aquarter inwidth. The valley and ancient moraine beyond the front of the ice indicate that in ages past this glacier was much larger (see text, page 204).
