World Glacier Inventory Now Provided in New Formats

The contents of the World Glacier Inventory database have been put into three new formats. A shapefile for those who use GIS software, in a Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) file for those familiar with GMT software, and in a KML file for easy viewing in Google Earth or other virtual globe software.
