A cutting-edge user interface project that modernizes Polar View’s near-real-time sea ice information. Designed to improve accessibility and functionality, the platform integrates essential tools and data for polar sea ice monitoring. The goal is to enhance user experiences for researchers, commercial operators, and tourism professionals by delivering a streamlined, intuitive interface tailored to the unique challenges of Arctic and Antarctic navigation.
The portal delivers vital real-time sea ice information, enabling researchers, maritime operators, and policymakers to make informed decisions in some of the world's most challenging environments. By enhancing data accessibility and usability, it supports safer navigation, environmental stewardship, and sustainable operations in the Arctic and Antarctic.
This project underscores the importance of accessible, real-time data in supporting sustainable operations in polar regions. By creating a user-focused design framework, Vizzuality set the foundation for an improved Polar View portal that balances the complexities of sea ice monitoring with the needs of its diverse users.
