I recently found this map of Europa and GIMP is unable to open it despite my computer being able to open maps up to 64K in size and GIMP supporting JPEG2 files.

Does anyone know how I can open this file?

Right, and as much as the shadows in the polar regions are large, maps tend to be made from images with a phase angle near zero for as much of the surface as possible, so that you see only albedo, not shadow. They'd excise the shadows at the poles if they could.
