Highlights
The Northern and Southern Patagonia icefields (NPI and SPI) of southern South America have a total area of approximately 17,000 km2, constituting the largest temperate glacier system in the southern hemisphere
Until now the data of the accumulation areas are insufficient for deriving the mass balance in the upper plateau
We compare new laser altimetry data of October 2008 with earlier data of November/December 2002 collected by airborne missions performed by NASA/CECS/Armada de Chile
Summary
