    Tasman Lake

    Water Feature

    Tasman Lake is a proglacial lake formed by meltwater from the Tasman Glacier in Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park on New Zealand’s South Island. The lake sits within a wide glacial valley surrounded by moraine ridges and the peaks of the Southern Alps. The composition resolves through the lake foreground, floating ice fragments, and the glacier descending from the surrounding mountains.
