Arctic maps are specialized geographical representations that depict the Arctic region, including its physical features, climate, and geopolitical boundaries. These maps often highlight ice cover, sea routes, Natural Resources, and indigenous territories. They are essential for navigation, climate research, and understanding environmental changes in this fragile ecosystem. Additionally, Arctic maps can illustrate political claims and territorial disputes among nations in the region.
