The glaciers of the southern cone - Patagonia and Chile - are melting fast! My mom visited them 15 years ago

 now 8% of those glaciers are gone already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctYoKLzfJAE&t=13s

Megadroughts by end of century - I think that is too conservative of a projection.
Since 2021, the Nilus project has been experimenting with artificial glaciers at a site near the El Morado glacier, which lost 19 percent of its volume between 2010 and 2018. It is not the only victim: the neighboring Echaurren Norte glacier has already lost more than 60 percent of its mass and is expected to disappear within 30 years.
“It’s not an individual concern. Not even a national one. It’s a global concern,” says Goldschmidt, about the loss of glaciers.
