The Tasman Glacier, located in New Zealand's Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, is approximately 27 kilometers (16.8 miles) long and reaches a thickness of around 600 meters (1,969 feet) in some areas. As a glacier, it doesn't have a specific "height" in the same way mountains do; instead, its elevation varies along its length and is influenced by the surrounding topography. The glacier is a significant feature of the region, contributing to the stunning landscapes of the Southern Alps.
