The dataset comprises of X ray fluorescence log ratio time series data for two sediment cores from Lago Pato, a small lake basin at 51.3003 S, 72.6786 W and approx 33 m a.s.l., which is topographically separated from Lago del Toro in Torres del Paine (TdP). The data are used to constrain glacier dynamics and lake level change in the TdP and Ultima Esperanza region over the last approx 30,000 cal a BP (30 ka). LP08 was extracted from the current depocentre in November 2007 to March 2008. LP16 was extracted the terrestrial shoreline in November 2015. This project was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) through the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and an UGent BOF bilateral collaboration project. RMcC was supported by Programa Regional R17A10002 and R20F0002 (PATSER) ANID. We gratefully acknowledge the University of Magallanes (UMAG) and the University of Santiago (Carolina Diaz) for assistance with fieldwork; the NERC/SUERC AMS Radiocarbon Facility for providing initial range-finder radiocarbon dates; the NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory (NIGL, now National Environmental Isotope Facility, NEIF, at the British Geological Survey) and Melanie Lang for stable carbon isotope analysis; Aberystwyth University (David Kelly), Durham University (Neil Tunstall and Christopher Longley) and Edinburgh University (Chris Hayward) for use of their core scanning and microprobe facilities and technical support.

The dataset comprises of GPS site data, bathymetric data from Lago Pato, a small lake basin at 51.3003 S, 72.6786 W and approx 33 m a.s.l., water chemistry collected from lakes in the region made in 2007 and precipitation data generated from the ERA-INTERIM model for Lago Pato. The data are used to help constrain glacier dynamics and lake level change in the TdP and Ultima Esperanza region over the last approx 30,000 cal a BP (30 ka).

The dataset comprises of site data and multiproxy analyses of the LP16 lake sediment cores extracted from Lago Pato, a small lake basin at 51.3031 S, 72.6816 W and approx 33 m a.s.l., which is topographically separated from Lago del Toro in Torres del Paine (TdP). The data are used to constrain glacier dynamics and lake level change in the TdP and Ultima Esperanza region over the last approx 30,000 cal a BP (30 ka). Data for the LP16 sediment record consist of downcore measurements of biology, chronology, geochemistry, sedimentology proxy data collected extracted a current terrestrial shoreline in November 2015. This project was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) through the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and an UGent BOF bilateral collaboration project.

The data includes carbon and oxygen stable isotopes together with top and bottom U-Th ages of stalagmites collected in Northwest, Central and Southern Vietnam. The purpose of this work was to identify suitable specimens that can be used for palaeoclimatic reconstructions. The stalagmites collected were found broken in-situ, and the exact location of the caves is not given here for cave protection purposes. The stalagmites were collected in February and March 2023, and geochemical analyses performed between April and December 2023.

This dataset contains geochemistry measurements and fossil diatom data from a sediment core retrieved from Isla Hornos, in the Cape Horn Archipelago (''IHL''', -55.97 S, -67.28 W, 156 m asl). The dataset consists of diatom relative frequencies, ITRAX scanning XRF counts, ICP-MS and ICP-OES elemental composition, C percent, N percent, S percent, TEX-86-based lakewater temperature reconstructions and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Ages of the sediment samples were assigned based on an age depth model derived from 14C measurements and span the last c. 11,000 years. Funding: This project was funded by UK Natural Environment Research Council Grant NE/K004514/1 to DAH. The research was carried out under permits from Corporacion Nacional Forestal Region de Magallanes y Antartica Chilena and Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores Direccion de Fronteras y Limites del Estado.
