ARGENTINE PATAGONIA, AUG 7 – The glacier’s retreat has accelerated 16-fold since 2019 after detaching from its stabilizing ridge, risking several kilometers of loss and impacting regional tourism and economy.

  • The glacier's retreat is a "delayed response to climate change" after over a decade of instability, according to study author Moritz Koch.
  • The researchers conducted extensive field work, using radar, sonar, and satellite data to measure the glacier's ice thickness and retreat.
