A large number of Arctic Council research and assessment projects result in production of maps of the Arctic. Among others, these show administrative division and where the indigenous peoples live, their languages, maps of the ocean and many, more specific maps. These can be accessed among others from the AMAP and CAFF websites.
The maps on this page were compiled by Winfried K. Dallmann of the Norwegian Polar Institute.
