Calving rates in fresh water: New data from southern Patagonia

Abstract

700 m. In the same period, image analysis reveals surface area loss of 1.37 km2 a (4.8 km2) and an average calving rate of 1880 m a-1. The resulting Vc/Hw ratio is of a similar order of magnitude to that recently derived for nearby Glaciar Moreno, but is well above the range of values commonly reported for lacustrine calving.
