Not a brilliant start

Hi all,

Russia needs to mark its Arctic territory: Medvedev

Wed Sep 17, 2008

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia should pass a law marking its territory in the disputed Arctic where it claims a large share of the mineral resources, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday.

Geologists believe valuable energy and mineral deposits lie below the Arctic seabed and it is only a matter of time before global warming melts the icecap making them accessible to miners.

"We must finalize and adopt a federal law on the southern border of Russia's Arctic zone," Medvedev told Russia's security council according to Interfax news agency.

"It is our duty to our direct descendents, we have to ensure the long-term national interests of Russia in the Arctic."

Last year a Russian mini-submarine dived to the seabed underneath the North Pole icecap and symbolically planted a Russian flag to claim the Arctic for the Kremlin.

International law states that the five countries which control Arctic coastline -- Canada, Russia, the United States, Norway and Denmark -- are allowed a 320 km (200 mile) economic zone north of their shores.

But countries have until May 2009 to submit new ownership claims over the Arctic to a United Nations commission.

Russia has claimed jurisdiction over much of the Arctic because an underwater ridge links Siberia to the seabed that runs underneath the North Pole.

Despite the political nature of the article I just have to comment. Does anyone find it slightly ironic to fight over "mineral resources"(code of oil), in the arctic circle made accessible by global warming.

So? There's a ridge from Greenland to the North Pole as well, so Denmark is the rightful owner of the North Pole. It's so obvious.

I'd feel much better with Denmark controlling the arctic circle me thinks.

Still trying to figure out though how you Africans managed to colonize Greenland.

Why? Dixie's people colonized places much further afield...

Indeed. After all we were 'World Empire Bashing Champions (1497-1950)'

And some of those fuzzy-wuzzies had sharp mangoes....

Yes thanks. Just 6 more days though

I've reached the point where I'll be happy to be back there. I'm almost at the point where I'm bored of everything before I even start doing it

Hey Dixie, I just saw an episode of the BBC series Airport featuring a VC10 taking off from Heathrow. Loud and smoky!
