  • The conclusions of the project were that: (a) some glaciers, including Upsala, Onelli, Bolados, Frías and Dickson, whose front sides were based on lakes, had seen their glacier tongues recede in the last two decades; (b) several slope glaciers, including Murallón, had shown serious degradation; (c) several glaciers with areas smaller than 2 square km had practically disappeared; (d) some glaciers, including Viedma, had become significantly smaller, especially in ablation areas; (e) there were very clearly defined moraines in valleys between glaciers, indicating further disintegration in the higher parts of mountain ranges due to erosion from exogenous agents; (f) glaciers at the same latitude were undergoing very different changes.
    وقُدمت التوصيات التالية: (أ) ينبغي أن تتواصل أنشطة الرصد باستخدام التصوير البصري والتصوير بالرادار؛ و(ب) ينبغي أن تُدرس في الميدان الديناميات وتوازن الكتل الجليدية وحوض الأنهار الجليدية؛ و(ج) ينبغي أن تُقام مرافق للأرصاد الجوية الآلية في الأنهار الجليدية الرئيسية؛ و(د) ينبغي إعداد جرد للأنهار الجليدية وتحديث ذلك الجرد بالاستعانة بتكنولوجيا النظام العالمي لتحديد المواقع في الميدان.
