DESCRIPTION:The observed retreat of the vast majority of glaciers in the P
 atagonian Ice Fields has been well documented\, but the role that the larg
 e network on fjords and the adjacent South Pacific ocean is playing in thi
 s process has not. Here\, the only existing multi-year oceanographic obser
 vations from a proglacial fjord in Patagonia are discussed. The site is th
 e proglacial fjord adjacent to Jorge Montt Glacier (the northern-most glac
 ier in the southern Patagonian Ice Fields)\, which has been retreating for
  most of the XX century\, with increased rates nearing 1 km/year in recent
  years. Seasonal oceanographic cruises\, oceanographic moorings and automa
 tic weather station data collected from 2010 to 2015 are used to character
 ize the evolution of the fjord circulation and the freshwater discharge fr
 om the plume in synoptic to intearnnual time-scales.\n
