Mueller Glacier, Alpine glacier in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand
Mueller Glacier extends 13 kilometers through the Southern Alps, flowing northwest from Mount Montgomerie while curving around the Sealy Range toward its terminus.
The glacier received its name from Baron Ferdinand von Mueller, a German-Australian botanist who conducted extensive plant research in the Southern Alps region.
Multiple hiking paths around Mueller Glacier connect to Mueller Hut, which serves as a central point for mountaineers exploring the Aoraki Mount Cook region.
Access to Mueller Glacier starts at Mount Cook Village through the Hooker Valley track, with guided tours available from November through April.
The glacier forms a terminal lake that feeds into the Hooker River, while the Frind and Huddleston Glaciers contribute additional ice flows along its course.
