Description
At the moment basemap seems only to support the plain etopo1 map (in data/etopo1.jpg), but other versions exist, i.e. "etopo1 ice surface".
@efiring what do you think about moving this from pycurrents into basemap? It feels like it belongs here next to the standard etopo1, bluemarble, etcetera.

Research direction
Start with data/etopo1.jpg and the existing basemap support for etopo1 and bluemarble, then compare the etopo1 ice surface implementation in pycurrents. Clarify where the dataset and selection behavior should live before changing anything. Done means basemap supports the ice-surface variant alongside the standard etopo1 and other built-in maps.
