This study presents the reconstruction of the evolution of twenty glaciers in the Norte Chico (Chilean Andes, 29°S-70°W) between 1955 and 2007. This reconstruction is based on aerial photographs and satellite imagery. 3 periods can be distinguished : 1955/56-1978, 1978/1996 and 1996-2007. Glacier retreat, observed for each period, is more marked during the 1st and 3rd, the latter having the highest rate of withdrawal. Over the total period, the average surface loss surface reached 44%. It is more pronounced for small glaciers (<0.5 km 2). The evolution of glaciers is consistent with climate variations associated with the Pacific decadal oscillation (alternating dry/wet phases). The comparison of the results presented here with climate and h...
