Gracias Cortes.

En Chile hay varios, en la Patagonia.

 

Uno es el Glaciar San Rafael, lo pude ver desde el avión.

 

Otros dos, los cuales vimos desde cerca, en el barco, son el Marín Balmaceda y el Serrano, a una horilla en barco desde Puerto Natales (o Punta Arenas, no recuerdo bien) (necesito rabitos de pasas para la memoria)

 

Saludos. RAFA

mas para tu hijo:

 

Al sureste de Islandia se encuentra el glaciar más grande de Europa, el: Vatnajökull. Llega alcanzar los 400 m. de espesor, y es tan grande que ocupa el 8% del país. El glacial cubre varios volcanes activos y genera muchos ríos de agua cuando sus hielos se funden.

 

El glaciar Aletsch (46° 26′ 52″ N 8° 4′ 53″ E) es el más grande de los Alpes, con 23 km de longitud y más de 120 km², localizado en el sur de Suiza, en el cantón de Valais, dentro del espacio Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.

 

Parque Nacional Los Glaciares

 

Declarado Patrimonio Natural de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, este parque contiene una de la bellezas paisajísticas mas espectaculares del mundo: los glaciares.

Ocupa 600.000 hectáreas y posee un entorno de lagos, bosques y cerros.

En el se encuentran el imponente Glaciar Perito Moreno, el Glaciar Upsala, el Spegazzini y otros.

El glaciar Pío XI es el glaciar más grande de todo el hemisferio sur, cubre una zona similar a toda la región metropolitana (según la última medición serían 1.265 Km2 ), avanza una cuarta por noche, presentando una oposición a la gran mayoría de los glaciares que están retrocediendo, de hecho en los últimos 50 años ha aumentado más de 10 kilómetros, y una de sus lenguas mide aproximadamente 6 kilómetros.

 

Glaciares Balmaceda y Serrano:

Ambos glaciares forman parte del Campo de Hielo Sur. El Glaciar Balmaceda, es un glaciar colgante de 2035 metros, que deposita sus témpanos directamente en el Fiordo Última Esperanza y que, al igual que la mayoría de los glaciares del mundo, se encuentra desde hace más de 15 años en proceso de retroceso. Al Glaciar Serrano se accede caminando desde el Muelle; se puede llegar al pie del mismo glaciar, a través de un maravilloso bosque nativo y por la ribera del lago.

No es uno de los gigantes de la Patagonia, pero sí que es uno de los más bellos.

 

Y una lista de glaciares que están creciendo actualmente

Here's a (partial) list of the specific glaciers that are growing:

• NORWAY

Ålfotbreen Glacier

Briksdalsbreen Glacier

Nigardsbreen Glacier

Hardangerjøkulen Glacier

Hansebreen Glacier

Jostefonn Glacier

Engabreen glacier (The Engabreen glacier

is the second largest glacier in Norway. It is a

part (a glacial tongue) of the Svartisen glacier,

which has steadily increased in mass since the

1960s when heavier winter precipitation set in.)

• Norway's glaciers growing at record pace. The face of the Briksdal glacier, an off-shoot of the largest glacier in Norway and mainland Europe, is growing by an average 7.2 inches (18 centimeters) per day. (From the Norwegian daily Bergens Tidende.) See http://www.sepp.org/controv/afp.html

Choose "English" (at top of the page), choose "Water,"

then "Hydrology," then "Glaciers and Snow" from the menu.

You'll see a list of all significant glaciers in Norway.

• CANADA

Helm Glacier

Place Glacier

• ECUADOR

Antizana 15 Alpha Glacier

• SWITZERLAND

Silvretta Glacier

• KIRGHIZTAN

Abramov

• RUSSIA

Maali Glacier (This glacier is surging. See below)

• GREENLAND

Greenland glacier advancing 7.2 miles per year! The BBC recently ran a documentary, The Big Chill, saying that we could be on the verge of an ice age. Britain could be heading towards an Alaskan-type climate within a decade, say scientists, because the Gulf Stream is being gradually cut off. The Gulf Stream keeps temperatures unusually high for such a northerly latitude.

One of Greenland’s largest glaciers has already doubled its rate of advance, moving forward at the rate of 12 kilometers (7.2 miles) per year. To see a transcript of the documentary, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2003/...hilltrans.shtml

• NEW ZEALAND

Photos show that all 48 glaciers in the Southern Alps have

grown during the past year. The growth is at the head of the

glaciers, high in the mountains, where they gained more ice

than they lost. Noticeable growth should be seen at the foot

of the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers within two to three

years.(27 May 2003)

• SOUTH AMERICA

- Argentina's Moreno Glacier (the largest glacier in Patagonia)

- Chile's Pio XI Glacier (the largest glacier in the southern hemisphere)

 

• UNITED STATES

- Colorado (scroll down to see AP article)

- Washington (Mount St. Helens, Mt. Rainier* and Mt. Shuckson)

(scroll down to see photo of Mt. Baker)

- California (Mount Shasta - scroll down for info)

- Montana (scroll down for info)

- Alaska (Mt. McKinley and Hubbard).

• New Glacier Forming on Mount St. Helens. During the last twenty years, snow and ice have accumulated behind the lava dome at Mount St. Helens (Washington State) to depths of up to 600 feet. According to Charles Anderson Jr. and Dr. Mark Vining of the Glaciospeleological Survey (IGS), the weight of the snow is compressing the lower layers into dense, crystalline glacier ice.

• Mount St. Helens glacier (Crater Glacier) growing 50 feet per year. September 20, 2004 - “Today, the snow and ice in the crater is equal in volume to all of the pre-eruption glaciers on Mount St. Helens combined," says a brochure published by the US Forest Service.”

 

Located inside the volcanic crater formed during its 1980 eruption, America’s youngest glacier is also its fastest growing glacier. Scientists estimate that the thickness of the glacier has increased by nearly 50 feet per year. Not only is it growing thicker, it has been advancing as much as 135 feet per year.

 

Why is no one bothering to tell us about this?

 

(Oct 12, 2004. With temperatures on the dome now standing at 1,270 degrees Fahrenheit, my guess is that the glacier is now melting.)

See list of expanding glaciers.

• Glaciers growing on California's Mount Shasta! Oct 12, 2003. All seven of Mount Shasta's glaciers are growing, says Slawek Tulaczyk, a glaciologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. This includes three-mile-long Whitney, the state's largest. Not only are the glaciers growing, three of them have doubled in size since 1950. Meanwhile, seven smaller glaciers in California's Sierra Nevadas are smaller than they were 100 years ago.

This story, written by Usha Lee McFarling at the Los Angeles Times, should have been front page news. But no, it was published on page B1. In the Seattle Times, it was published on page 16.

But did the headlines mention growing glaciers? Not on your life. The L.A. Times shrieked "Sierra Glaciers in Rapid Retreat." In Seattle, the headline read "California Glaciers Altered by Climate."

I'll leave it up to you. Are these headlines misleading or not?

 

• The Greenland Ice Sheet is growing thicker.

• So is the Antarctic Ice Sheet. According to a report in Science (Jan 2002), new measurements show that the ice in parts of Antarctica is thickening. One week earlier, an article in Nature reported that Antarctica's harsh desert valleys - long considered a bellwether for global climate change - have grown noticeably cooler since the mid-1980s.

• (Click here to see construction crane buried in the Antarctic Ice Sheet).

• To put this in perspective, you must realize that the Antarctic Ice Sheet and Greenland Ice Sheets are almost twice as big as the contiguous United States. They're almost 100 times bigger than all of the rest of the world's glaciers put together. In other words, more than 99 percent of the world's glaciers are growing ... and all we hear about are the few that are melting.

• And that's why sea levels are falling. That's where the water comes from to build glaciers; from the seas.

Eah! Y luego le preguntan al niño "¿Manolo, pero de donde sacas tanta información?"

 

Y el niño responde "del foro de Audi de mi padre"

 

Y ahora le explicas al profesor lo que aquí se cuece Lo mismo se arregla un roto que se cose un "descosio"

 

SALUDOS

:drool: :drool: jaja gracias a todos, esto es mejor que google

[Robert_A6]

Veo ASI sustituyendo a los libros de texto. Todos muy bien de verdad, pero lo de Auroraboreal es de 10.

 

seguro que ni el profesor sabe todo eso!!

[-JOSEMA-]

¿ El oceano glacial artico?. .

En españa hubo uno( de muchos que hubo ),el cual, cuando se fundio dio origen al lago natural de origen glaciar mas grande de España,el lago de Sanabria, en Zamora.Entorno natural bonito donde los haya.

[susopampin]

Esto sí es información.

[pagka]

Huy , he entrado porque creia que querias ponerle un nombre de glaciar al niño

 

 

[Wintermute]

jaja gracias a todos, esto es mejor que google

 

Pues la verdad es que si, que aportaciones tan buenas, sobretodo la de Aurora..
