Raul Cordero, a climatologist at the University of Santiago, said that the collapse of the ice blocks is normal, but the frequency of these events is worrying.
According to him, before the collapse in this area of Patagonia there was a heat wave with very abnormal temperatures.
Scientists say massive bursts of warming are associated with anthropogenic climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.
