Fox Glacier in New Zealand moves at an average speed of about 1 to 5 meters (3 to 16 feet) per day, depending on various factors such as temperature, precipitation, and the glacier's underlying conditions. This movement can vary, with periods of faster flow during warmer weather or after heavy rainfall when meltwater lubricates the glacier's base. The glacier's dynamic nature is a result of the interplay between accumulation of snow and ice and its melting at lower elevations.
