Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Viedma glacier is the second largest glacier in the Andes and the largest glacier in Argentina. It is also one of the most dynamic in the Southern Patagonian Icefield, and is, unfortunately, particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change. Scientists estimate that, due to rising temperatures, the Viedma glacier has lost between 10-20% of its total surface area. Seasonal calving can be observed in this image, acquired on 13 November 2021 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, with ice separating from the glacier at its terminus point and floating in the Viedma Lake. Meltwater from retreating glaciers such as the Viedma Glacier contributes to rising sea levels.
