Who controls the North Pole? Who owns Greenland? The "eternal ice" at the North Pole is melting, and warming temperatures are making Arctic regions more accessible for longer periods. Rich mineral resources can be extracted from the land, and shipping traffic in the Arctic Ocean is increasing. In the process, the Arctic is increasingly becoming a focal point for competing interests and power struggles. The major powersthe USA, China, and Russiaare treading on thin ice. Tensions with Europe have also risen since US President Trump openly expressed an interest in purchasing Greenland. Michael Paul provides a vivid and compelling account of the multifaceted changes taking place in the Arctic, outlining the conflicts involved and potential solutions.
