+The function :py:func:`geometric_features.aggregation.landice.uummannaq_disko`
+aggregates the GIS tidewater outlet glaciers flowing into the Ummannaq and Disko Bay region of
+Greenland. Glacier boundaries were defined using the ice basin layer in QGreenland 
+(https://github.com/nsidc/qgreenland/) and manually manipulated near the glacier termini to create
+a buffer zone around each outlet glacier, so that QGreenland boundaries encompass the full glacier area
+defined on the MALI mesh.
