About the Arctic Portal Mapping System | Arctic Portal

The Arctic Portal Mapping System is to provide visual geographical information about Arctic related data, such as distribution of vegetation data, permafrost, spread of indigenous languages and information about Arctic affiliations and organizations.

Data is provided through various affiliations and organizations that work in collaboration with the Arctic Portal, such as the University of the Arctic, The Circumpolar Arctic Geobotanical Atlas, International Permafrost Association (IPA), Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME), UNEP Environment Programme / Grid-Arendal and other data sources.

All Arctic related data is welcomed at the Arctic Portal Mapping System

The Arctic Portal Mapping System is powered with the Inter-map mapping system. Inter-map is a graphical, interactive information and communication system. An online mapping tool coupled with a database that enables non-tech administrators to quickly and easily associate and update any type of information related to any single part of a map or plan thus enabling visitors to a website to observe and obtain this information instantly. Inter-Map is a digital map content management system (DM-CMS) that can act as a stand-alone system or as part of a larger content management system.
