Map illustrating (A-B) geographical location of the sample collection site in Sikkim Himalaya, India. The red circle depicts the specific spot of the collected ice meltwater sample; (C-D) sampling site comprising the supraglacial site in the ablation zone of the East Rathong glacier. Made with Natural Earth, free vector, and raster map data @ naturalearthdata.com. The map was made in QGIS version 3.0.0 (URL: http://qgis.org ).
