The arctic's full of oil, gas, and... well, probably not women.
As if Russia didn't have enough semi/un-inhabitable territory already, now they are trying to claim a good chunk of the arctic as an economic zone.
But don't worry, the Canadians and Danes are uniting to hold them back.
I don't know why, but something about this topic fascinates me. Maybe it is the image of bunch of nations squabbling over an ice sheet because it might melt sometime in the next century or three and if it does there might be oil under it. Now, I'm all in favor of taking the long view, but don't the Russians have anything better to do than drop titanium capsules with their flag where no one will ever be able to find them again?
