The Arctic route, which connects Asia, Europe and North America by passing the Arctic sea, is called as "golden waterway." The distance between China and Europe, North America will be greatly reduced through the Arctic navigation route. As a transport corridor of East Asia, Russia, Scandinavia and other parts of the Arctic sea, its value and potential are emerging. However, the complex climate in Arctic region, such as large scale of perennial sea ice cover, builds many obstacles for the opening of the Arctic navigation route. But in the 21st century, global warming accelerated the melting of sea ice in Arctic. The Arctic navigable route will come to true under the scenario of quickly developing maritime navigation technology, computer technology, and the increasing power of icebreakers.Although the opening of the Arctic route has great significance, China gets little information about the Arctic Route and the covered sea area yet. Compared with the normal route, sea ice is one of the most important influence on the Arctic Route’s opening, as well as the hydrological data, such as visibility and sea waves. The nations surrounding the arctic area pay more and more attention on the arctic issue because of its prominent strategic position. China has become one of the Arctic council official observer countries since 2013, and is in urgent need of the basic data of the Arctic Route. Fortunately, the internet shared data help a lot to build up the Arctic route security system. However, the shared data is released by different service agency, so that the data format, data content and data released time interval are dissimilar with the route.This study focus on developing spatial information system to insure the navigation security on the Arctic Route. Taking the northeast route as a case, using the sharing data mainly the sea ice, visibility and sea waves data, build Arctic route security system on the open source software-World Wind. C# language and Visual Studio 2005 are employed to work out the program. In addition to the basic GIS functions, this system use channel-related hydrological, meteorological data and sea ice data to do analysis of the sea hydro-meteorological dynamic information, which can provide suggestions for the navigation departments, and comprehensive reports for the ships sailing in the Arctic waters.
