Check out the new Detailed geological map for SW Greenland: http://geuskort.geus.dk/gisfarm/gis_svgreenland.jsp
The WMS behind the application is developed using ESRI ArcGIS tools. A lot of work was put into updating the geological maps and harmonizing the geology for the rather large area covered - The project was an important first step for harmonising the geological map of Greenland on a 1:100k scale. One of the main obstacles for making the map available on the internet was performance. We tried different ways of optimizing the WMS on our ArcGIS server 10 - Most significant improvement was the simple step to base the WMS on a .msd file rather than the standard .mxd.
The application is based on MapServer CGI. The WMS is so far only available through the application. In addition to the geological map it is also possible through the application to view a long list of geological and geophysical data, as well as field photographies.
