          Statement: 
              Map produced in ArcMap 10.6. The background image is an RGB composite of a Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite 
              image, identifier: S2B_MSIL1C_20210225T132919_N0209_R138_T19DEF_20210225T145914, acquisition date: 25th 
              Feb. 2021. The glacier change dataset contains data originally from https://doi.org/10.3133/i2600B and 
              supplemented with more recent data created by manually digitising the glacier extent from satellite 
              imagery in ArcMap.
