The Polar Research Portal is a new interactive map presenting Swedish polar research and expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica. Nordpil worked with the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat in preparing the background maps and implementing the interactive map interface.

Nordpil is proud to announce the publication of the new Tectonic Plates GIS database. This collection of GIS data is now publicly available for download and integration in cartographic outputs and projects. The data is useful for geological applications, analysis and education, and should be easy to use in any modern GIS software application.
