Glaciers in the northern Patagonian Andes (35-46°gS) have shown a dramatic decline in area in the last decades. However, little is known about glacier mass balance changes in this region. This study presents a geodetic mass balance estimate of Monte Tronador (41.15°gS; 71.88°gW) glaciers by comparin...
