Polar View is a global organization providing leading-edge satellite-based information and data services in the polar regions and the cryosphere. Our services support safe and cost-marine operations, improved resource management, sustainable economic growth and risk protection across sectors and around the world. Using satellite earth observation data, in combination with sophisticated models and automatic tools, the satellite images are converted into products that graphically illustrate the characteristics of the ice and snow on any given day.
Our services include enhanced sea ice information (charts and forecasts) as well as ice-edge and iceberg monitoring data. We also provide monitoring services for lake and river ice, snow cover maps and glacier monitoring and assessment.
Polar View services are accurate and timely, delivered in real time, with higher resolution and improved spatial and temporal coverage in comparison to what is available from other providers. Our services are unique in that they can be customized to meet user’s needs and combined with other value added data to offer both cost savings and a competitive advantage.
