Welcome to Polar View

Polar View delivers information about sea ice and icebergs direct to ships operating in the Arctic region. We use several types of satellite imagery to deliver a comprehensive, detailed and up to date picture of sea ice extent and distribution.

To get started using the site, select a particular view from the carousel below. These views comprise groups of related sea ice information products which you can visualise on the map. The views are a starting point only - you can view a whole range of different products alongside one another too. These are listed in the left hand panel under "Available datasets". Use the check boxes to the left of the product name to show the data.
