Fox Glacier is New Zealand’s largest commercially guided glacier, situated in Glacier Country, on the West Coast of the South Island, only 21 km’s south of Franz Josef.
It offers a range of activities — snow walks, aerial flights — similar to that of Franz Josef. Unlike most of the world’s glaciers, Fox has been advancing since 1985 and, as of 2006, was moving at a rate of one metre per week.
As one of the most accessible glaciers in the world, tourists can walk right up to the terminal face free of charge to see the glacier, you can walk to the terminal face, arrange an ice-hiking adventure or book a sightseeing flight.
