  • The Cuernos del Paine, or Paine Horns, peak from the mist at Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)

  • Glaciologist Dr. Gino Casassa, of the University of Magallanes in Chile, and geologist Dr. Rolf Killian, of the University of Freiburg, drill holes at the top of a glacier in the Gran Campo Nevado ice field of southern Chile. Part of an interdisciplinary study by the universities of Freiburg and Heidelburg, the scientists study the rate of seasonal ice loss on the glacier, as well as pollen and mineral samples taken from cores drilled from area lake beds and peat bogs. <br />

 Six hours by boat from the nearest human settlement, the area is almost untouched by man. Its varied environment provides a unique opportunity to look at possible causes of global climate change.

  • The Grey Glacier in Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile.

  • Icebergs collect at the end of Lago Grey, below the sweeping tongue of the glacier in Torres del Paine National Park. Though very few scientists deny that temperatures are rising, some, like Casassa, still question the influence of man in the phenomenon. For Casassa's long-time friend and colleague Dr. Pedro Skvarca of the Argentine Antarctic Institute, the evidence of human influence is compelling. In the years since World War II average annual temperatures for the nearby Antarctic Peninsula have risen by 2.5 degrees Celsius, and the volume of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the area has risen by 20 percent. "That is significant," says Skvarca. "Now you'll ask me if that is caused by man. Myself, my opinion is yes. There are very few who would say no."

  • Tourists pass an ice berg afloat in Lago Grey, a moraine lake at the base of the Grey glacier in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park. One of many tongues of the Southern Ice Field that straddles the Andes in Chile and Argentina, the Grey glacier is receeding at a rapid rate -- a kilometer per year by some estimates. The Southern Ice Field is the earth's third-largest ice mass.
