Are these maps consistent with each other? For example, the arcgis map seems to show no glaciers in Switzerland.

All the ArcGIS maps displayed very similar data and excluded the Alps. This didn't make sense, so I opted to find a source that did. Ultimately, they are not consistent because the last glacial maximum took place over several thousand years and conditions were not constant.
