Lago Argentino hosts various calving glaciers, among them the famous Perito Moreno. Whereas the onland late Pleistocene–Holocene glacial history is rather well constrained, the submerged glacier-related features were until now undisclosed. Here we present a series of high-resolution seismic profiles revealing moraine bodies associated with the late-glacial glacier dynamics and the first bathymetric map of the Brazo Rico and Brazo Sur, the two southern arms of Lago Argentino. At the eastern termination of Brazo Rico, we identified at the lake floor the submerged expression of the Puerto Bandera 3 moraine mapped onshore, which represents the oldest event (12,660 ± 70 cal yr BP oldest minimum age) recognized in this lake arm, and seven other younger events expressed by a series of terminal and recessional moraines. Along the Brazo Sur, few moraine bodies have been imaged by seismic data. Here, the youngest temporal constraint comes from the Frías moraine (ca. 6000 cal yr BP), which closes off the southern end of the Brazo Sur. At the confluence of the two arms, the Perito Moreno and the former Frías glacier merged and flowed toward east during their late-glacial maximum advance (i.e., Puerto Bandera 1 moraine). The subaqueous evidence of moraine bodies testifies to the occurrence of previously undocumented pulses of the Perito Moreno and former Frías glaciers within the general phase of late Pleistocene–Holocene regression.

高分辨率地震调查揭示了两个巴塔哥尼亚南部出口冰川的晚冰期波动

拉戈阿根廷拥有各种产犊冰川,其中包括著名的佩里托莫雷诺。虽然陆上晚更新世-全新世冰川的历史受到了相当大的限制,但与淹没的冰川相关的特征迄今为止尚未公开。在这里,我们展示了一系列高分辨率地震剖面,揭示了与晚期冰川动力学相关的冰碛体,以及阿根廷拉戈的两个南部臂布拉索里科和布拉索苏尔的第一张测深图。在布拉索黎各的东端,我们在湖底确定了在岸上绘制的波多黎各班德拉 3 冰碛的淹没表达,这代表了在这个湖臂中公认的最古老的事件(12,660 ± 70 cal yr BP 最古老的最小年龄),以及七个一系列终端和衰退冰碛表示的其他年轻事件。沿着布拉索苏尔,很少有冰碛体通过地震数据成像。在这里,最年轻的时间限制来自 Frías 冰碛(约 6000 cal yr BP),它关闭了 Brazo Sur 的南端。在这两个臂的汇合处,佩里托莫雷诺和前弗里亚斯冰川在其晚期冰川最大推进期间合并并向东流动(即,Puerto Bandera 1 冰碛)。冰碛体的水下证据证明,在晚更新世 - 全新世回归的一般阶段,之前未记录的 Perito Moreno 和前 Frías 冰川脉冲的发生。Perito Moreno 和前 Frías 冰川在晚冰期最大推进期间合并并向东流动(即 Puerto Bandera 1 冰碛)。冰碛体的水下证据证明,在晚更新世 - 全新世回归的一般阶段,之前未记录的 Perito Moreno 和前 Frías 冰川脉冲的出现。Perito Moreno 和前 Frías 冰川在晚冰期最大推进期间合并并向东流动(即 Puerto Bandera 1 冰碛)。冰碛体的水下证据证明,在晚更新世 - 全新世回归的一般阶段,之前未记录的 Perito Moreno 和前 Frías 冰川脉冲的出现。
