Some datasets cover the whole Antarctic continent. Data for the whole continent is often not required by users and loading it all can cause large overheads. We should add a region [list] kwarg to define a [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax] region to crop the data to. This will reduce the size of the loaded data and make it easier to handle.
Where possible, extend this across all loaders to only load a specified region (default to the whole extent).
