Quality

This data set extracts glacier distribution of the Altai Mongolian area based on the topographical map (1/100,000) which the Soviet Union army created based on the aerial photograph in 1945 - 47. The extraction method performed on GIS glacier distribution indicated to the topographical map by manual work.
