 You can add a data source in QGIS in several ways. One, in the QGIS "browser" panel (can be shown on the page by navigating to view -> panel -> and selecting "browser") one of the options for layers to add to any map is the "WFS / OGC API - features" option. Right click that option and select "New Connection..." Alternatively, you can get to the Data Source Manager either from the toolbar icon or from the top menus (Layer -> Data source manager), then click on the 'WFS/OGC Api - Features' tab and select 'New.' In either case you will be presented with a connection window that should look like this:   You can add a data source in QGIS in several ways.

-This link establishes a connection between your desktop GIS application and all of the ICE-D data stored as a Web Feature Service (WFS) hosted online by Geoserver. Before selecting OK, be sure to check the box stating "Invert axis orientation". Otherwise QGIS will think latitude values are longitude values and vice versa and all of your sample locations will be rotated 90 degrees. +This link establishes a connection between your desktop GIS application and all of the ICE-D data stored as a Web Feature Service (WFS) hosted online by Geoserver.

-**Note**: Either the "invert axis orientation" or the "ignore axis orientation" checkboxes may work equivalently. Yes, this behaviour is weird.

Yes, this behaviour is weird. If you really want to know about this, look [[https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/services/wfs/axis_order.html|here]], but it basically has to do with whether your layer lists coordinate pairs as Lat,Lon or Lon,Lat.
