| 词条 | Douglas Glacier (New Zealand) |
| 释义 |
The Douglas Glacier is a glacier in New Zealand's Southern Alps located between Mount Sefton and Mount Brunner.[1] It is named after the explorer Charles Edward Douglas.[1] The glacier sits in a valley and is fed by materials consisting of many streams and frequent avalanches which drop from its névé down a cliff face of over 1,000 feet.[2] The glacier itself was approximately 5 miles long in 1908. [2] The glacier has a relatively high rate of moraine materials, consisting of "friable phyllites and schistose grauwackes".[2] At the foot of the glacier is a lake that was created by glacier recession.[3] Reports from 1892 and 1934 indicated it had "an anomalously slow lake development".[4] The Douglas River (formerly known as the Twain) begins in the lake at the foot of the glacier.[2] References1. ^{{cite book|title=Bateman New Zealand Encyclopedia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=btRBAAAAYAAJ|year=1987|publisher=D.
