The Moraine Walk is a short 30 minute rainforest walk that takes you to where the terminal face of the Fox Glacier was in the years 1750 and 1600.
A moraine is the rubble bulldozed ahead of a glacier and deposited at its terminal face.
The most impressive feature of the walk is that you pass through several distinct ages of rainforest. It starts with younger rainforests that have grown between 1750 and the present day, and then leads into older forests that have grown between 1750 and 1600 AD.
Below the 1600 yr terminus the track passes through huge, ancient trees that pre-date 1600, including a superb rimu forest.
Drive time to the start of the track from Fox Glacier Holiday Park is about 10 minutes.
