| Zusammenfassung |
| Place names in Greenland can be difficult to get right, as they are a mix of
Greenlandic, Danish, and other foreign languages. In addition, orthographies
have changed over time. With this new data set, we give the researcher
working with Greenlandic glaciers the proper tool to find the correct name
for glaciers and ice caps in Greenland and to locate glaciers described in
the historic literature with the old Greenlandic orthography. The data set
contains information on the names of 733 glaciers, 285 originating from the
Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) and 448 from local glaciers and ice caps (LGICs). |
