There's a story going around that because of Global Warming and Antarctica is melting, that there are enormous oil deposits under the ice and Russia has sent a submarine there to plant the Russian flag to stake claim to the oil deposits.
This story is going around at colleges!

Actually that is pretty close. The Russians have staked a claim on the North Pole, Arctic region. It is believed to have enormous oil reserves and with the ice cap melting, they will become more accessible. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6927395.stmI believe there are treaties, or UN agreements that prohibit laying claims to ocean areas beyond about 15 miles of shoreline, with some exceptions up to 200 miles. |
