Arctic Web Map as provided by ArcticConnect (AC)

Arctic Connect provides with Arctic Web Map (AWM) an Arctic-specific web mapping tool. It is a Javascript Library that can be used for adequate arctic map projections “especially for for scientifically accurate visualization and analysis” They think as me that it is a function that is “critical for arctic system research but missing in existing web mapping platforms”. To keep it simple you can use the example map.types$AC settings to connect to their really beautiful backgraund maps.
