This freezing zone is "heating up " because Russia and Denmark have also made moves to confirm sovereignty here.

Canada alone has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the campaign "flagging the north pole" including: sending dozens of experts 'scientific research' , sending icebreakers and submarines.

So far, the country has made an extremely detailed map of the sea floor around the north pole.

After being elected in 2006, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper always considered asserting sovereignty in the Arctic region (including the far north) as one of the most important political goals.

According to La Presse, most Arctic countries have signed agreements with neighboring countries to resolve conflicts over the continental shelf, except Canada.

One of the causes of the extreme north of the earth has become the focal point of sovereignty disputes because many scientific studies show that it contains up to 20% of the world's oil and gas reserves.
