Comment on “Ice content and interannual water storage changes of an active rock glacier in the dry Andes of Argentina” by Halla et al. (2021)
Abstract
Recently published work on water preservation in Chile assumes that “permafrost” (cryogenic) rock glaciers are dominant. Melt pond development shows that rock glaciers are glacier-derived (“glacigenic”) rather than of permafrost origin.
