Tasman Lake
Tasman Lake is a proglacial lake formed by the retreat of the Tasman Glacier in New Zealand's South Island. Icebergs periodically break off the apron and float away down the lake. Because more of the glacier is now in contact with the water, its rate of retreat has increased. Mount Cook is in the distant left corner of the image. A 2.3 km round-trip hike to reach the lake and back tested these 70year old legs! Image taken on photography workshop with Brett Wood and Lisa Milne.
