The Upsala Glacier is a large valley glacier in Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park. It flows from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, feeding the nearby Perito Moreno Glacier. The glacier terminus is at Lago Argentino. The Upsala Glacier is well known for its rapid retreat,〔("Glaciar Upsala en el año 1928" ) Greenpeace Argentina〕 which many see as evidence for global warming.〔("Un glaciar patagónico se redujo 13,4 km2 en los últimos 7 años" ) - Clarín〕 The name comes from the old spelling with one ''p'' of Uppsala University, which sponsored the first glaciological studies in the area. The University is located in Uppsala, Sweden.〔(Peru For Less- Destinations- Argentina- Calafate- Perito Moreno Glacier, Upsala Glacier, el Torre Glacier, and El Chalten )〕 The glacier's almost continual recession up until 1999 has recently slowed (as of 2003). The previous acceleration in ice motion during the two decades preceding 1999 may have been augmented by the release of backstress when the glacier retreated beyond the islands in Brazo Upsala.
