Dear Yoni Verhaegen,

thank you for providing carefully prepared responses to the reports by the three referees. Based on your responses, I would like to invite you to submit a revised version of your manuscript. The initial version of the paper has received somewhat polarized evaluation, and I hope the modifications you are proposing, in particular, in regard to comments by Referee #2, would improve the quality of the manuscript and convince the Referee.

Best regards,
Evgeny Podolskiy

Dear Yoni Verhaegen,

TC recommends that any data-set used in your manuscript is submitted to a reliable data repository and linked from your manuscript through a DOI. Please, see a link below for details: 

https://www.the-cryosphere.net/about/data_policy.html

Therefore, "data available on request" kind of statement (line 631) does not follow the journal's policy and, as an editor, I can not "accept the paper with technical corrections", which I would be pleased to do considering your excellent responses and modifications, which have fully satisfied the referee, as I have just learnt from the second round of review.

Please, also consider the following minor technical corrections as you prepare your final manuscript file.

line 18 (Abstract) & line 515 vs. line 607 (Conclusions)

"length and surface area will further shrink by ca. 30 % by 2100"
As I read "by", I understand that the current 100% will go to 70%. And this is consistent with your Line 515.

However, later in Conclusions it is written:
"the glacier will shrink drastically to ca. 30 % of its current length and surface area by 2100 AD". Here, I understand that the current 100% will go down to 30%. Please recheck the language here.

so far no elevation values have been presented, so it is not very clear higher than what? Please check your intended meaning.

The caption for (a) does not mention that the corresponding figure also shows glacier surface area, which should be included.
