photograph, with Tasman glacier flowing down its southeast flank. The waters of Lake Pukaki, which is fed
by the Tasman and Murchison glaciers, contain rock that has been ground to the consistency of flour by the
ice; the suspended rock flour gives the lake its lighter color (cf. Lakes Ohau, Hawea, Wanaka). The
Southern Alps of South Island have been uplifted along the Alpine fault zone, which marks the boundary
between the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates of the Earth's crust. Mt. Cook rises above 11,000 ft (3754
m) and occupies a point where the straight segment of the Alpine fault zone begins to branch off into
southeasterly splays. Lakes Pukaki, Ohau, Hawea and Wanaka lie in valleys formed by such faults.
