Franz Josef Glacier
The Franz Josef (Ka Roimata o Hinehukatere in Māori)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Place Name Detail Franz Josef Glacier/Ka Roimata o Hine Hukatere )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-visit/west-coast/glaciers/franz-josef-glacier/ )〕 is a long〔(Glaciers in New Zealand ) (from Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand. Accessed 2008-01-16.)〕 glacier located in Westland Tai Poutini National Park on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. Together with the Fox Glacier to the south, and a third glacier, it descends from the Southern Alps to less than above sea level.〔
The area surrounding the two glaciers is part of Te Wahipounamu, a World Heritage Site park. The river emerging from the glacier terminal of Franz Josef is known as the Waiho River.〔
==Naming==
The first European description of one of the west-coast glaciers (believed to be Franz Josef). The glacier was later named after Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria by the German explorer, Julius von Haast in 1865. The Māori name for the glacier is ''Ka Roimata o Hinehukatere'' ('The tears of Hinehukatere'), arising from a local legend: Hinehukatere loved climbing in the mountains and persuaded her lover, Wawe, to climb with her. Wawe was a less experienced climber than Hinehukatere but loved to accompany her until an avalanche swept Wawe from the peaks to his death. Hinehukatere was broken hearted and her many, many tears flowed down the mountain and froze to form the glacier.
