Of the five NPI glaciers studied, San Rafael Glacier showed a net advance, while other glaciers, San Quintin, Steffen, Colonia and Nef retreated during the same period. With additional data of JERS-1 images (1994), different patterns of variations for periods of 1986-94 and 1994-97 are recognized. Of the seven SPI glaciers studied, Pio XI Glacier, the largest in South America, showed a net advance, gaining a total area of 5.66 km2. Two RADARSAT images taken in January and April 1997 revealed a surge-like very rapid glacier advance.

  • Continuing Southern Right Whale Mortality Events at Península Valdés, Argentina

Probably due to the topography and currents of the Península’s large bays, most of the whales that die become stranded on the beaches, allowing for reasonably accurate mortality estimates. Systematic efforts to evaluate SRW health through post-mortem examinations began in 2003. Since then, 291 SRW deaths have been recorded, with peaks in 2005, 2007 and 2008. Ninety percent of beached whales were calves, and most were female. In 2007 and 2008, 83 and 96 whales died and stranded at PV in what are considered the most extreme mortality events ever observed in any baleen whale.
