Fox Glacier Camp

My camp question:

1.How many glaciers do they have in Fox Glacier?

Fox Glacier only has 1 glacier. There is another Glacier down the road at Franz Josef.



2. How old is the glacier in Fox Glacier?

Fox Glacier / Te Moeka o Tuawe is a 13-kilometre-long (8.1 mi) glacier located in Poutini National Park Westland Tai  on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island It was named in 1872 after a visit by the then Prime Minister of New Zealand, Sir William Fox.Following the passage of the Ngai Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998, the name of the glacier was officially altered to Fox Glacier / Te Moeka o Tuawe.
