In the period 1971–75, Ivory Glacier receded 30 m (98 ft) from the glacial terminus, and about 26% of the surface area of the glacier was lost over the same period. Since 1980 numerous small glacial lakes were created behind the new terminal moraines of several of these glaciers. Glaciers such as Classen, Godley and Douglas now all have new ...
Franz Josef Glacier, as seen in 2011 New Zealand contains approximately 2900 glaciers over 1 hectare (2.5 acres) in size, almost all of them along the Southern Alps, the main divide of the South Island.
