      <abstract>
        The inventory includes 5,297 Glaciers from west Greenland between 59 to 71 degrees latitude north and 43 to 53 degrees longitude west. The glacier data basin division is based on a simplified version of the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) system.  Data are based on 1:250000 maps, Landsat imagery, and aerial photos that were taken between 1948 and 1985.
