Millions of people depend on the Andean cryosphere for freshwater supply. Over the last sixty years, global warming has altered the mountains' water balance, as the temperature rose, precipitation decreased, and deglacierization exposed hundreds of square kilometers. The distribution of solid water stored in soil permafrost and the potential effects of climate change on it are unknown.
