A predefined Crs that represents WGS84 with Universal Polar Stereographic for the north pole.
Remarks
The EPSG name is "WGS 84 / UPS North (E,N)", with code 5041 (the code 32661 is used for a left-handed variant).
This Crs is based on WGS84 with the Universal Polar Stereographic projection for the North pole. As a complement to the UTM zones, it is used north of 84° N. The EPSG gives a larger area of use: north of 60° N. In fact, the Crs can be used for the entire north hemisphere, and a bit further south as well. However, to be sure of positive coordinates, you must stay north of about 72° N, as the map below shows.
