Specific usage: This Arctic Basemap is meant for use in the scale range 1:10.000.000 to 1:100.000. The Basemap covers the Arctic regions of the involved participating countries, as defined by the countries themselves. The Arctic can be identified and defined in many different ways depending on the parameters used (tree line, climate, Arctic Circle, temperature, flora, fauna, jurisdiction). Thus for some parts, the Basemap covers the entire territory of a country including areas normally considered outside of the Arctic region.
