Description: Tasman Lake, as seen from near its outlet (far right). Tasman Glacier can be seen across the lake, in the distance on the left. Its lower reaches are mantled with rock debris, as are several of the icebergs in the lake. Two tour boats can be seen in this direction, near a large white iceberg. The glacier's barren lateral and terminal moraines line the rest of the lake's coastline, and the Murchison River has cut an entrance through the lateral moraine opposite this viewpoint. Aoraki / Mount Cook (New Zealand's tallest mountain) is the high peak at far left, and the Minarets are visible in the distance above the glacier.
