Publications & image credits
Republished articles retain their original titles and identify their original publication. Photographs and external materials are credited alongside the relevant content. For permission to reuse material, please contact the respective rights holder.
Landscape and editorial image credits
Images are illustrative. Photographs show the places and vessels named below; they do not document every event discussed in the adjacent articles. Images are resized and may be cropped to fit the layout. Adaptations of CC BY-SA images remain under the licence linked for that image.
AI illustrations: the homepage opening image, red icebreaker, research and iceberg panoramas, rock specimens, fishing vessel, Indigenous participation scene, and the wildlife, tundra and northern-lights illustrations were created for Arctic Policy using OpenAI image generation. They depict imagined scenes, people and vessels, rather than documented expeditions, sightings or locations. The participation scene does not represent a real meeting or endorsement; the rock specimens are not intended for scientific mineral identification.
Photographs: the Qaanaaq image is by Helene Brochmann and is used under CC BY-SA 4.0. Credits, original sources and licences for this and the other photographs are listed below. Research and archive previews are resized, converted to WebP and may be cropped; their original licences are retained.
