The Tasman Glacier Trail is not long. It takes less than 15 minutes to walk from the Blue Lake to the lake. If you go around the lake and go to the Tasman Glacier Line, it seems that there is no special trail to the glacier line, only the wild road. Or helicopter on the glacier or report to a professional group, professional guides lead the hike on the glacier.

    Looking forward to the long trip to Mount Cook, before going to the hotel, I went to the Tasman Observation Deck. The weather in late November was no longer ice, and I also introduced why the blue lake is green, because now the glacier is shrinking, there is no glacier water flowing into the blue lake, only rain.

    The majesty of the Tasman glacier is visible in helicopters. And with the changing global climate, the glaciers are unknowingly shrinking. I hope that this majestic landscape will remain forever.

    It rained for two days, and the water at the end of the lake at Tasman Glacier Lake was milky white, the color of the surrounding rock, gravel and mud water into the lake. When I walked to the middle part of the lake, there were still some lake ice that had not been melted, or crystal clear, and there were cold water fish activities in the lake. Although there is no sun, the lake is still blue. Take a look at taking pictures, the Tasman Glacier Lake itinerary is enough for1-2 hours, plus the Hook Valley Glacier Lake 3-4 hours. If you don't watch the stars at the Hook Valley Observatory, friends with tight schedules can not live in the valley.

    The Tasman Glacier Trail is a Y-type trail, one to the Blue Lake Observation Deck and the Takata Observation Deck, and the other to the Tasman Glacier Lake. The Blue Lake Observation Deck is also the starting point of the Blue Lake Trail, and the viewing platform in the Tasman Glacier Valley continues onward. At one end of the observation deck is a degraded glacier, at the bottom is the Tasman Glacier Lake, and at the other end is a degraded valley.

    From the high platform observation deck, there is a split path to the Blue Lake to the Tasman Glacier Lake. It is a little regrettable that 10 days ago, the Tasman Glacier Lake was still an ice lake. The ice was very fast and the lake was blue. There is still a little lake ice residue. The glacier in the distance has also retreated a lot. Unfortunately, the rain on the day, the sunny lake ice must be beautiful.

    The Blue Lake and Tasman Glacier Trail are two separate trails. The Blue Lake Trail can climb up the mountain and overlook the Cook Valley and the Blue Lake Valley, and then go down and circle the Blue Lake. Blue Lake is a relatively sunny lake in a series of small glacier lakes. The Blue Lake Trail takes about 2 hours. Look at the picture below and circle the three lakes to the foot of the mountain to get close to the mountain ice.
