Geologists have discovered a new field of drumlins -- geological formations of glacial origin -- in the eastern sector of Lake Viedma, located in the Los Glaciares National Park in Southern Patagonia, Chile. This is one of the most important findings of a project aimed at charting the paleoclimate in regions of Patagonia and reconstructing the dynamics of glaciations from thousands of years ago.
