	Hooker Glacier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hooker Glacier is one of several glaciers found around or close to the slopes of Mount Cook in the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
		Though not as large as its neighbour, the Tasman Glacier it is still impressive, and is some 11 kilometres in length.
		It is found on the southwestern slopes of Aoraki/Mt Cook, and is the source of the Hooker River, a small tributary of the Tasman River which flows into Lake Pukaki.

		Built in 1910 and perched near the upper valley limit of the alpine plant clothed moraine terraces, Hooker Hut is the fifth oldest hut on public conservation lands.
		While also used enroute to the Copland or upper Hooker the predominant hut use was for over night trips from the Village, and in latter years by an increasing number of trampers/backpackers.
		In recent years the Hooker Glacier has retreated and the glacier surface dropped, with a growing lake, collapsing moraine walls and steep down-cutting of side gullies.

		In the southern areas of Connecticut, the thickness of the glacier was believed to have been around 1,000 feet; but in the northern areas, it is believed to have been as much as two miles.
		Hooker became the pastor of the congregation at Newtown (Cambridge), and Stone became the teacher of the congregation.
		In a relatively short period of time, Thomas Hooker and his congregation wished to remove themselves from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and settle in the rich lands of the Connecticut River Valley, not because of religious differences, but because living conditions were becoming cramped in the Boston area.

		Water temperatures in the latter were consistently between 3 and 4.5deg.C, but most parts of Hooker Lake were cooler than 2deg.C, with a minimum recorded temperature of 0.2deg.C. These contrasts are important because melting of submerged parts of glacier termini is significant for ablation rates and for the dynamics of calving termini.
		Water depth at the termini of iceberg-calving glaciers is known to correlate strongly with rates of iceberg production and hence the rate of glacier retreat.
		All the lakes are being enlarged by glacier retreat except Maud lake, which has been reduced in size since 1995 by the advance of Maud and Grey Glaciers.

		Follow the western shore of the Hooker Lake on the bottom of the moraine wall.
		Apart from the formed section of the Hooker Valley track this part of the route is very testing, it is rough underfoot and very unpleasant from the Hooker Lake to the top of the moraine wall.
		An alternative route may be taken via the East Hooker Valley as far as the shingle fan opposite the Copland Gulley, followed by a rough descent down a steep moraine canyon onto the Hooker Glacier, across it, and up the West Hooker moraine as described above.

		Glacial flour was also the fine powdery substance which coated to our shoes as we walked and also the reason for the dense dust cloud thrown up by the wheels of bus.
		The glacier is melting even as it moves forward downhill, only that it is melting faster than the ice is moving thus resulting in the glacier retreating.
		This walk took us from beside a river of melted glacier flow into a lush rainforest, climbing moderately to end at a couple of scenic outlooks: one offering the view of the sea in the distant and the other, a view of the glacier we would be tackling in the afternoon.

		It sits at the northern end of the Hooker Glacier, with three main peaks; the one you can see from Mt Cook village is a lovely pyramid shape, but the highest peak is just behind it, which you can only see by viewing the mountain from a different angle.
		On the western side of the glacier (that's the left as you look at Mt Cook) is Mt Sefton, with the Footstool just to the right of it; Mt Sefton is very snowy and icy, and there are regular booms as the snow avalanches off the slopes.
		Glaciers are huge 'rivers' of ice that slowly move downhill, carving out valleys and leaving behind rock debris known as the moraine.

		Lateral moraines are evident on both sides of this glaciated valley, appearing as ridges of unconsolidated material deposited by the glacier.

		Abstract A 3 km long section of the Hooker Glacier near its terminus was studied in 1996 using GPS, tacheometric, and bathymetric surveys, as well as ground penetrating radar and gravity surveys.

		A maximum water depth of 135 m was measured near the retreating glacier front where the ice wall descends as a vertical cliff to the lake bottom and temperatures of 0.5deg.C prevail.

		Cramponing up the Linda Glacier proves fast, and by the time alpenglow overtakes the highest summits we are at the foot of Clarke Saddle.
		No air access is allowed into the Hooker and in comparison to the Tasman, the valley is a haven of quiet, save of course, for the occasional creaking complaints of the glacier itself.
		During some seasons Clarke Saddle is cut off by schrunds, and the Hooker Glacier is rarely traversable without a detour around to Gardiner Hut and over Pudding Rock.
