The study of glaciers in remote regions improves our understanding of global glacier change. With an area of 149.31 ± 1.84 km2, the Santa Inés Icefield constitutes one of the largest and least studied and explored glaciated areas of Southern Patagonia. We study the extent and glacier variations of the Santa Inés Icefield over the last 75 years, and we generate the most detailed glacier inventory to date of its 24 constituting glaciers. We estimate surface elevation changes between 2000 and 2014 using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and TanDEM-X digital elevation models. Our results show a generalized trend of retreat, with a glacier area loss of −9.78 ± 1.52 km2 between 1998 and 2020, with annual rate increase from −0.15 ± 0.01 km2 a−1 (1998–2005) to −0.58 ± 0.10 km2 a−1 (2005–2020), and an average thinning of 0.60 ± 0.26 m a−1 (2σ) between 2000 and 2014. No clear correlation was found between retreat or thinning rates and Accumulation Area Ratio (AAR), terminus slope, aspect, or glacier type. While ERA5 reanalysis data shows no significant climatic trends in temperature or precipitation, a small warming trend below our detection record is the most likely cause of the observed retreat and thinning of the Santa Inés Icefield.

| This study was funded by the CONICYT-BMBF 20140052 research project GABY-VASA: “Response of Glaciers, Biosphere and Hydrology to Climate Variability Across the Southern Andes,” performed by University of Magallanes (Chile), the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH), and the Humboldt and Erlangen-Nürnberg Universities (Germany). Field work funding was partially provided by the University of Magallanes. I.G. would like to thank for the support of David Farías during an internship at the Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany), where the original elevation data (DEMs) and differences (Δh) were obtained; the generous help of Wolfang Meier providing his data for the glacier inventories comparison; and the assistance of Francisco Aguirre and Alejandro Martínez de Ilarduya in climatic data processing. The ERA5 reanalysis data were obtained from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). In addition, I.G. would like to thank for the support during the fieldwork by Paulo Rodríguez, Rodrigo Gómez, Marcelo Llancalahuén, and Fitz Roy Expeditions, together with the Uncharted Project help. The support of the University of Magallanes and the help of Eñaut Izagirre and Joanna Baginska are also acknowledged, as well as the work of three anonymous reviewers, whose comments and suggestions helped us to improve this work. |
