All Glaciers of Oceania

This group collects the Glaciers and Ice Formations subcategory's members located in Oceania, principally the temperate maritime glaciers of the Southern Alps on New Zealand's South Island, including well-documented named glaciers descending toward the West Coast. Few glaciers exist elsewhere in Oceania given the region's generally low elevation and low latitude outside New Zealand, so this group is deliberately narrow, separating New Zealand's genuinely glaciated alpine terrain from the rest of the subcategory's Northern Hemisphere and polar entries.
