The Tasman Glacier is a valley glacier. It is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and flows down the Tasman Valley. Valley glaciers form in mountainous regions and flow along valleys carved by rivers.
The glacier will melt eventually, and then form a valley, as well as water flowing through that valley; and it may even help form new valleys.
A glacier helps to form a valley in two ways. When the glacier moves through an area, it scrapes the land and pushes dirt in front of it, making a larger and larger hole that eventually becomes a valley. Runoff from the glacier as it melts also helps, as it carries soil away from the area, digging out a valley.
it's a valley glacier, it moves slowly carrying debris and melted snow.

Valley Glaciers
One type of Alpine glacier is a cirque glacier, which forms in a bowl-shaped depression on the side of a mountain. These glaciers are typically small and may be found at the head of a valley or on a mountainside.
The type of glacier that forms when ice and snow accumulate in a mountain valley on a continent is called a valley glacier, or alpine glacier. These glaciers flow down the valley, shaped by the terrain and gravitational forces, and are typically found in mountainous regions. They can vary in size and are often a key feature of mountainous landscapes.
The center of a valley glacier moves the fastest due to reduced friction from surrounding valley walls and terrain. This faster flow in the center can cause the glacier to stretch and crack, creating crevasses.
