Glacial Movement Among the Ages

I changed my project objectives again, and for the final time! My objectives are now to make professional maps.

I adjusted the neat line to fit the whole page changed the position of the map location and legend changed the north arrow got rid of my name because that will be on the title of the poster changed the color of the symbols in the map showing mean area so it is easier to see added a description (although I will probably adjust that to be on my final poster) added the logo of the National Snow and Ice Data Center I played around with trying to figure out how to get rid of the white space on the map to make the text on the poster look similar to those we looked at in class.
