Sparse measurements of glacier mass balance, velocity and ice thickness in Patagonia challenge our ability to understand glacier sensitivity to climate change and relate past glacier fluctuations to palaeoclimate change. Small ice caps, such as Monte San Lorenzo, have short response times and high c...
