  • The Marr Piedmont glacier behind Palmer Station, on Anvers Island, Antarctica, has been in retreat for several decades. Since 1963, the terminus of the glacier has been intermittently mapped, initially with arial imagery, and then with GPS surveys. Annual mappings have occurred from 2017 onwards. This dataset includes both point and line GeoPackage spatial vector files, each of which includes the mapped terminus lines from each available year as individual layers.
