Modelling experiments of drainage events from proglacial lakes of the Rio Baker catchment (central Patagonia, 46-48 degrees S) indicate that Atlantic-Pacific drainage reversals may have caused freshwater forcing of regional climate. However, much of the region remains unmapped in detail and availabl...
