T H E GREAT TASMAN GLACIER, on which a guide and four girl visitors to the Hermitage perished in a blizzard, is twenty miles long and with a width ranging to two miles. It is bounded on the west by Mount Cook, De La Beche and other ranges and on the east by the Malte Brun and Liebig Ranges. Half-way between the Malte Brun Hut and the Hermitage is the Ball Hut to which the party was making when overtaken by the blizzard. De La Beche Corner, where the bodies were found, is marked with an arrow. At that point the glacier is one and a-half miles wide.
