The South Island of New Zealand (maybe soon to be renamed as Te Waipounamu), has several dozen glaciers, but there are a handful on Mt Ruapehu in the North Island as well. Most of the S.I. glaciers are small - perhaps less than 5 km in length, though there are a handful several km in length. The Tasman Gl, Fox Gl, and Franz Joseph Gl would be the best known, and all are significant.
In addition there are a few Ice Plateaux but not giant in extent. [e.g. Olivine Ice Plateau, and the Gardens of Eden and Allah.]
As to fjords, there are only three named as such (each being a branch of L Te Anau.) But there are about a dozen similar features, each a genuine fjord but named as Sounds, on the SW coast of the South Island.
