The Scramble for the Arctic examines the history of the region and its exploration, the current state of ownership, the legal status of the Arctic and its waters, the likely outcomes of today’s power-plays and what is at stake both politically and ecologically.

The map of the arctic is literally being redrawn by global warming and the ownership of its various segments will be one of the defining issues of the next decade. The Scramble for the Arctic is an informed and clear-sighted account by leading Arctic scholars and explorers Richard Sale and Eugene Potapov that analyses the competing interest of nations, corporations and last, but absolutely not least, species.
