Perito Moreno Glacier retreats nearly 1 km in 100 days, record acceleration

A study by Glaciarium and Argentina's National Park recorded a historic retreat of the Perito Moreno Glacier, losing nearly a kilometer of front in just 100 days. This confirms an acceleration of the retreat process that began in 2018, marking a significant deviation from the glacier's historical stability. The rapid loss underscores the impact of climate change on Patagonian ice fields, with implications for regional water resources and sea-level rise.
