Glaciers of Nepal 1980

Digital polygon data of Glaciers of Nepal in 1980. This dataset is created using Landsat MSS, imageries of 1980. The glacier outlines was derived semi-automatically using object-based image classification (OBIC ) method separately for clean ice and debris cover and further editing and validation was done carefully by draping over the high resolution images from Google Earth.
