Warszawa Icefield glacier outline 2020-2021

The dataset contains vector layer (glacier outline) covering Warszawa Icefield King George Island, Southern Shetlands for the period 2020/2021. The shapefile KGI_Warszawa_Icefield_2021.shp contains glacier area delineated from satellite images available in the application Google Earth Pro, combined with elevation dataset (REMA) and hillshade generated from two datasets acquired on 15th of May 2021 (western part of the Icefield) and 27th of April 2020 (eastern part of the Icefield). REMA stripes used for glacier delimitation were: SETSM_s2s041_WV01_20200427_102001009571BC00_1020010093D1D300_2m_lsf_seg4 SETSM_s2s041_WV01_20210515_10200100B1875500_10200100B1B8C000_2m_lsf_seg2 Shapefile was produced in the UTM projection system (southern hemisphere, zone 21) based on WGS84 ellipsoid (datum D_WGS_1984).
