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?

I hope Sweden gets it :fyea:

America will have the last word, as usual :rolleyes:

It's like the moon. Nobody owns it, it is everyones.

Dosnt matter cause global warming :happycry:

Agreed, Obama will want to have a word or two in this argument.

They think there could be huge oil reserves underneath all the ice and snow. So if the Ice caps receed enough Russia is about to make BANK.

I hope Canada gets it. :fyea:

Yeah, because messing with the ice caps won't cause any problems.

The President of Russia must have the tiniest dick in the world if he needs to annex a chunk of ice to feel big.
