Science platforms and infrastructures

The intention of the list below is to provide an online gateway to Arctic research vessels and stations. We encourage our visitors to inform the FARO Secretariat about relevant web sites to be included in the list.

An overview of more than 90 terrestrial field bases, mainly Arctic, can be found at: Home - INTERACT GIS 

An overview of research stations and vessels at both poles can be found at the EU funded project POLARIN – Polar Research Infrastructure Network.

Polardex is an online platform for polar infrastructure developed by the EPB. Polardex is a tool for polar scientists and planners, and the platform lists key polar infrastructures in both the Arctic and the Antarctic.
