Contrasting trends in regional arctic destinational and transit shipping
Ever since the impact of climate change on Arctic sea ice began to be discussed in international forums at the turn of the century, several comments were published to the effect that diminishing sea ice would quickly translate into the development of massive transit routes across the Northwest Passa...
