The Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) project is an international effort to map the vegetation and associated characteristics of the circumpolar region, using a common base map. The base map is a false color infrared image created from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite data. Get a more detailed overview at About the CAVM.
The maps are available in several formats and resolutions.
- The 600x800 and 1200x1600 pixel PNG files are suitable for on screen viewing
- The 2250x3000 PNG file will produce a 7.5"x10" image when printed at 300dpi.
