# Geospatial Tutorials

Welcome to MAGIC's geospatial tutorials, all with a Polar focus, and all inspired by the kinds of questions we get asked as part of our long running MAGIC Helpdesk.&#x20;

Remember, you can contact [the MAGIC helpdesk](https://www.bas.ac.uk/magic-helpdesk) at any time to ask for help.&#x20;

Please reach out if you need further assistance with any of these tutorials.&#x20;
