In order to address an R CMD check warning about non-ASCII characters in the island_area object, these characters in the island names had to be converted to an ASCII format. The non-ASCII accents in the island names are important for the functionality of the SSARP package, so this function provides the user with a dataframe including the original, un-converted island names.
Value
An edited version of the SSARP::island_areas object, which is a
dataframe including the names, areas, and maximum elevations of islands
from across the globe.
