Development of a proglacial lake in front of Parks Pass Glacier north of Lake Wakatipu, south of Poseidon Peak (Map 260-E40 Earnslaw, NZMG: 2131500/5612780). The 1986 photo was distorted to better fit the one from 2006. The proglacial lake just begins to form in 1986, but has become very much larger by 2006, when part of the receding glacier tongue appears to be floating (photos: 1986, Trevor Chinn; 2006, Dorothea Stumm)
