Do I Need My Passport? Who Owns the Arctic?

2/16/2022

I've been wondering about the social-political perspectives of the Arctic Ocean. I teach courses on public lands in the USA. I'm realizing how little I understand how oceans are managed administratively. So, I have looked into it and found this short video (watch below) that helps to explain the nuance and increasing complexity due to sea ice melting and navigation becoming easier. As you watch it, I'm curious to know what your new questions and curiosities are; please share a comment if you wish at the bottom of this page.

New York Times OPINION Rushing for the Arctic’s Riches By Michael T. Klare, Dec. 7, 2013 https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/08/opinion/sunday/rushing-for-the-arctics-riches.html

Where Exactly Are We Going

During this upcoming IABP AK Spring 22 Deployment we will be in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, so no need for my passport. Yet I will bring it just in case.

I will fly from Aspen, Colorado to Denver, Colorado. Then I'll take a direct flight to Anchorage, Alaska. There I will have a 15 hour layover before flying directly north via Alaska Airways to the northernmost airport in the United States in Utqiaġvik, Alaska.

This is really interesting! I trust that the UN will value all parties involved both humans, wildlife, and the natural beauty to coexist together as the arctic changes! What a great opportunity for these countries to work together through change aswell!
