Using the Arctic Web Map tiles

The tiles are available online for free as long as the following attribution is used:

Map © ArcticConnect, Data © OpenStreetMap Contributors

Tiles are PNG images that are compatible with web "slippy-map" libraries. They are served using the standard XYZ url scheme:

http://airport.gswlab.ca/awm/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png

Note that the map is in EPSG:3573 projection, so the XYZ scheme will not map to latitude/longitude the same way as regular web maps.

OpenLayers

Here are some examples hosted on glitch.com for OpenLayers v4, v5, and v6.

Note that the API for v5 and v6 appear to be identical. Only minor changes with usage of Proj4 are required for the v4 to v5 transition.

Leaflet

PolarMap.js can be modified to use tiles from this new server instead of the original Arctic Connect tiles server. Please see the example for PolarMap.js where the Tile Layer is redefined in the code.

An example for Leaflet 1.0 or newer is not yet available.

ArcGIS Online

If you are a user of ArcGIS Online, you can add Arctic Web Map as a base layer for your maps. Note that due to the projection, the map may not line up with other layers that are in a different spatial reference system.

In your New Map, select "Add", then "Add Layer from Web". Select "A Tile Layer" for the type of data.

Once added, you may have to drag the map "down" to see the new layer.
