Particular attention is given to penitentes: surface ablation forms that are common on most glaciers of the Central Andes at high altitude and have an important effect on the energy and mass balance of the snow cover. The relative importance on snow ablation and therefore on water resources will be addressed. 1): the Juncal Norte glacier near the border with Argentina and south of the Portillo pass, and the Loma Larga glacier on the headwaters of the Maipo river. 1. An automatic weather station (AWS) was installed on the snow surface and it collected data from 30 November to 11 December 2000 on Juncal and from 22 January to 24 February 2001 on Loma Larga.
