The Agassiz Glacier is located near the west coast of New Zealand's South Island.
The Agassiz Glacier is a tributary of the larger Franz Josef Glacier,[1] and is itself fed by the Chamberlin Snowfield and the Davis Snowfield.
It is named after Louis Agassiz, a Swiss-American glaciologist, and was discovered and named by the German geologist, Sir Johann "Julius" von Haast.
[2] In 2015, the glacier was informally 'unnamed' as part of a worldwide campaign to disassociate Agassiz's name from various geographic features and, in this instance, to replace it with a relevant Māori name.
