## A Free GIS package for Greenland

![QGreenland example images](/doc/_images/qgreenland-examples.jpg)

QGreenland is a free mapping tool to support interdisciplinary Greenland-focused
research, teaching, decision making, and collaboration. It combines key datasets
into a unified, all-in-one GIS analysis and visualization environment for
offline and online use.

An international Editorial Board and Project Collaborators connects the
QGreenland Team to data and user communities.
