Tasman Glacier aerial photos 2008

Zooming in on the arcuate ridge of the 1991 rockfall, we see that it is composed of multiple ridges of pulverised debris. A supraglacial pond can be seen in the middle of the photo. The ribbed lateral moraine (upper) shows signs of large-scale slope failure resulting from a lowering of the glacier surface (April 2008).
