The whatis file is the water flow and

drainage of the glaciers. They flow from

the nose of the glaciers and follow the topographic gradient to the lows. The file
also shows lakes and ponds which have accumulated water.

d. Examine the Air Force Glacier lobe. Using the airphoto and the imagery and the
topographic data for the area near the termination of the glacier, provide critical
commentary on the state of the data and / or imagery. You should be thinking in
terrain terms here.
Critical commentary
Quality/size zoom in
Georeferencing off = bad
Contour data good, good fit in this area
Raster pixels area roughly 22.5m not well defined edges or boundaries with other
glaciers
