Only for the glacier surface elevation change around the main peak of West Kunlun mountain from 1970 to 2016, so it will not be supplemented and improved, and fully open sharing is adopted. The dataset contains one band, elevationchange 1970-2016. Field measurement unit: meter (m). The data set is mainly extracted from remote sensing images, which only represents the change of glacier surface elevation at the time of remote sensing image acquisition, and the time is 1970-2016.
