Younger Dryas Age Advance of Franz Josef Glacier in the Southern Alps of New Zealand
A corrected radiocarbon age of 11,050 ± 14 years before present for an advance of the Franz Josef Glacier to the Waiho Loop terminal moraine on the western flank of New Zealand's Southern Alps shows that glacier advance on a South Pacific island was synchronous with initiation of the Younger Dr...
