President Vladimir Putin has already described the urgent need for Russia to secure its "strategic, economic, scientific and defence interests" in the Arctic.

Massive amounts of natural resources (inc oil) there. The Russians want the claim it as their own, and USA and Europe ain't gonna let them just grab it.

Oh dear! Another Cold War, then.
