Glacier expansion in southern Patagonia throughout the Antarctic cold reversal
Resolving debated climate changes in the southern middle latitudes and potential teleconnections between southern temperate and polar latitudes during the last glacial-interglacial transition is required to help understand the cause of the termination of ice ages. Outlet glaciers of the Patagonian I...

Resolving debated climate changes in the southern middle latitudes and potential teleconnections between southern temperate and polar latitudes during the last glacial-interglacial transition is required to help understand the cause of the termination of ice ages. Outlet glaciers of the Patagonian Ice Fields are primarily sensitive to atmospheric temperature and also precipitation, thus former ice margins record the extent and timing of past climate changes. 38 Be-10 exposure ages from moraines show that outlet glaciers in Torres del Paine (51 degrees S, south Patagonia, Chile) advanced during the time of the Antarctic cold reversal (ACR; ca. 14.6-12.8 ka), reaching a maximum extent by similar to 14,200 +/- 560 yr ago.
