Transit shipping through the Arctic via the Northern Sea Route, along the northern coast of Scandinavia and Russia, is already occurring. In addition, Arctic oil/ gas extraction is being explored due to large oil and gas reserves under the Arctic Ocean. In the future, development of these anthropoge...
