The above is a permanent waterfall which you can't c the end of falls cuz the water seep through the rocks beneath ground.
The green hill is actually a terminal moraine wall which presently marks the end point of the 29km long Tasman glacier/lake. The glacier may retreat or advance after many years and a new terminal moraine will be then formed.
Looking up a rocky lateral moraine which we had to climb up to c Tasman glacier lake.

Tasman Valley
Went for a tour to Tasman Valley, one of the active glacier valleys in Mt Cook region. Almost everywhere you can find signs of weathered rocks brought down by glacier/snow during winter.
