Environment/Politics, France 2006

The melting of the Arctic polar ice has allowed the opening of a new maritime route between the Atlantic and the Pacific far shorter than the Panama or Suez Canals.

This radical transformation of the planet gives rise to a whole new controversial issue for the nations.
