RGI02 - N Moraine Hill glacier incorrectly split #36

Open adamglacier opened 2 years ago

Hello,

In RGI-02, there are two glaciers: 02.12461 and 02.12730 that are classified as two separate glaciers, but the glacier is really just one feature (12461 being the dominant ice body). There is a medial moraine separating the ice, which has likely lead to the automated classification of two distinct glaciers.

Thanks - in GLIMS these would be anlys_id 419266 and 419535.

I'm not sure we will do something about it yet, but if deemed important for RGI7.0, a new outline has to be submitted to GLIMS and the other two have to be "retired".
