Riches await as Earth's icy north melts, by Doug Mellgren

The summary

This article talks about an international race for oil and other important sources, making a small island like Hans a quarreling island. Hans is located in the frozen north where the temperature is very low and the ice is covering all places, but global warming will melt this ice as the latest report by the U.N said and that maybe is happening faster than what they think; not 100 years as previously thought, but in about 15 years. This makes some countries think about the near future of this area and other countries are already moving and put their flags and warships there.
With all the squabbling over ownership, there are a lot of concerns. One of these concerns is the rights of the Arctic's indigenous peoples who live in this area and as whether they own all the sources. Another concern is about environmental life there.

Main Idea
The main idea is about the race for collecting sources from underground and the relationship of that race to the frozen north.

Comment
From my point of view I think that avidity will lead some countries to a third world war, but fortunately the world is still rich in sources and always we heard about some new wells found in some place, like the huge amounts of oil which were found in Southern Sudan, but again the avidity makes a lot of problems to Sudan particularly from U.S.
