Arctic has begun no longer to calm

Russia and Canada have declared sovereignty in the Arctic region in varying degrees, but there is not a country like Denmark so aggressive.

In 2007, the submarine will be inserted in the side of the Russian flag just below the North Pole seabed, strong warnings and controversy ensued. With the convergence of Russia and the disappointing results of oil exploration in the emergence of this controversy died down.

Before the Danish action, the parties also are in the exploratory stage. We all know that politicians do not want to risk accusations against the media.

Since 2006 was elected prime minister of Canada since Harper has been emphasizing the interests of Canada's Arctic sovereignty, especially in the Arctic Northwest Passage issue, the Harper government has been tough declared the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic waters belong. Every summer, he would go to the North Pole inspections to declare sovereignty.

Russia planted a flag on the seabed after, also released in 2009 the principle of state policy in the Arctic region, proposed the implementation of the strategic planning phases of the Arctic, including the North Pole in 2020 to build Russia's main resource base; in 2015 completed the Russian border in the Arctic confirmation.

That layer of paper windows burst fact just one. In September 2014, Canada found that in 1846 sank in Arctic waters sunken ship Franklin expedition. In a subsequent statement, Harper, excitedly saying it laid an important foundation for Canada's Arctic sovereignty.

This statement sought to achieve sit real "Arctic sovereignty belongs to Canada" effect. After all, before the declaration of return declaration, but the frustration can not sit real, the end is not convincing. Moreover, the United States and other countries have been emphasizing all the Northwest Passage an international, non you a Canadian property.

To a large extent, Canada is to sit before the Russian real sovereignty. In August 2014, Putin said that Russia must strengthen its military presence in the region. Then, on Dec. 1, at its North Sea Fleet of Russia on the basis of the formation of the Arctic Strategic Command formally began operations.

Currently Action countries around the Arctic, is still "thunder and no rain." But in the next 10 years or 30 years, once the Arctic ice melts, the use of the Northwest Passage will shorten the distance between Asia and Europe 7000 kilometers, which have a tremendous impact on world trade patterns will be. Until then, the dispute over the North Pole is bound to become more intense.
