Hooker Glacier is one of several glaciers found around or close to the slopes of Mount Cook in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Though not as large as its neighbour, the Tasman Glacier it is still impresive, and is some 11 kilometres in length. It is found on the southwestern slopes of Cook, and is the source of the Hooker River, a small tributary of the Tasman River which flows into Lake Pukaki. One of New Zealand's more accessible glaciers, it can clearly be seen from the start of the Copland Track, close to The Hermitage.
