Ice feature catchments

Description

Three databases have been merged to give this file:

1. an amended Randolph Glacier Inventory file (Bliss), which covers most of the islands around Antarctica.

2. a detailed analysis of Northern Peninsula (Graham Land) glacier catchments (Cook).

3. a new analysis of the catchments of the main Antarctic Ice Sheets and Palmer Land (Fretwell).
