We estimate the calving flux of two major outlet glaciers belonging to the South Patagonian Icefield (SPI), Perito Moreno and Upsala Glaciers, between 2011 and 2015 comparing it to the correspondent total mass balance in a similar time period (2012-2016). Additionally, time series of calving rates are calculated back to 2008, allowing a detailed analysis of the frontal advance/retreat and velocity change of these glaciers.
