Melting pack ice and thawing land provide opportunities for permanent navigation on the Arctic Ocean, the world's last major untapped hydrocarbon reserve. The area has long been coveted by major oil companies and neighboring countries – even if it means disputing their very borders...
Russia is showcasing its military might to tap into a soil that is rich in oils and rare minerals. The region is undergoing rapid transformations with the construction of deep-sea seaports and the development of huge complexes for the exploitation and transport of natural gas and oil. As usual, the indigenous people get shafted by the “great powers” of the world: their living conditions have been totally disrupted by this race for the Arctic. A journey between an old, unspoilt world and an emerging new industrial world.
