Upsala Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Upsala Glacier is a large valley glacier in Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park. It flows out from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, which also feeds the nearby Perito Moreno Glacier. The terminus of the glacier is at Lago Argentino. The Upsala Glacier is well known for its rapid retreat[1], which many see as evidence for global warming[2].
The name comes from Uppsala University, which sponsored the first glaciological studies in the area.[3]
