The Tasman Glacier in the Southern Alps of New Zealand began receding from its Little Ice Age maximum
position in the mid-1980s after a long period of down-wasting and the formation of supraglacial lakes.
Since then, a proglacial lake has developed and recession has accelerated, leading the an increasing production
of icebergs". This behaviour mirrors the inferred behaviour of recession of many alpine glaciers
in the Late Quaternary. The photograph was taken in 2008 from the Little Ice age moraine. Photograph
