In New Zealand a small ice cap would cover the high dissected plateau of our south-west Fiordland, the present glaciers would be greatly extended, and new ones would creep down valleys at present occupied by rivers. The distribution of forest and grassland in New Zealand would be quite altered and much of the South Island would be a cold desolate storm-swept area like the southern tip of South America to-day.
