Paleoshorelines around Lago (Lake) Cardiel in southern Argentina (S48.9 degrees, W71.3 degrees; similar to 275 m) record substantial changes in lake area over the past 25 ka. Our results combined with previous research show that during the last glacial maximum (or LGM, 23-21 ka), the lake stood at near modern levels, but had nearly dried up by 13 ka. Between 11.3 and 10.1 ka the lake reached its highest point (+54-58 m) and greatest extent in a least the last 40 ka. Lake levels dropped thereafter and experienced two lower-lake periods: 8.5-7.5 ka and 5-3.3 ka; and two higher-lake periods: 7.4-6 and similar to 5.2 ka. In the last 3.5 ka, the lake has remained generally near or slightly above its present level. The depth and surface area of Lago Cardiel are controlled mainly by precipitation onto the lake and surrounding catchment, air and water temperature, and wind-speed related to local strength of the Southern Hemispheric Westerlies (SHW). Our lake-level reconstruction combined with evidence from other studies suggest that on average the core of the SHW was located well to the north (<45 degrees S) of the Cardiel basin during the deep lake phase associated with the LGM, and was well to the south (>55 degrees S?) during the hydrologic maximum of Cardiel in the early Holocene. The lower phases of the lake at 20.0 -11.5, 8.5-7.5, and 5.0-3.3 ka generally correspond to cold conditions in other records, when we infer that the SHW were strongly focused around the latitudes of Cardiel at 49 degrees S.
