Ever since 2007, when Russian explorer Artur Chilingarov planted the russian flag under the arctic sea, debate has been raging over what country actually owns the north pole. That debate may soon be over. Russia is planning to go to the United Nations and stake a claim on the north pole, claiming it is part of its land mass. If Russia is successful, they will have added over 380,000 square miles of land mass to their country, and will have jurisdiction over a quarter of the worlds hydrocabon resources, fisheries, and newly opened trading routes.

Even though Russia says that it connects to The Arctic, Canada, America, Denmark, and Norway also have arctic coasts, and could make the claim over the north pole.

So what do you guys think? Will the north pole belong to russia? or will some other country claim it as well?

In Soviet Russia... ICECAPS F YOU UP... and vodka...

It is the same amount of colndess here every winter.

I Hope Japan owns it :carling:






To be honest, i don't want Russia to own it.. Not too sure why but xD

It will go to the country who has the best argument for it. So I doubt America will get it. They have nothing to do with it, as far as I know. Maybe they will plant shit to claim it's their's, like usual. I reckon that if any country near the North Pole puts forward an argument as to why they should get it, such as it's joining their country to this or that etc, then they will probably get it. But could this start a feud say if Russia didn't get it and another country did between them? Perhaps. Maybe they should just let it be, like it has been all this time.

Hope Norway gets it. More oil money to us :fyea:

inb4 Dmitri Medvedev states that all your ice are belong to us.
