  • Abstract
    We compare ice elevation from TanDEM-X DEMs of 2011/2012 and SRTM DEM of 2000 over the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI) in order to quantify the volume loss of the icefield over the last decade. The map of elevation change rate is discussed. Detailed results are shown for two glaciers: Jorge Montt and Pio XI, exhibiting opposite trends in elevation and front position.
