The moisture source of the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI) and its transport is not yet fully understood. It has a large impact on the stable isotope composition of the SPI, adjacent lakes and nearby vegetation, and is hard to quantify from observations. This study detects the moisture sources of...
