Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Canada, Denmark, Russia, Norway, and the USA are the five countries with territorial claims to the artic seabed. The EXTENSIVE (as compared to the other claimants) Denmark has already submitted its claim to be reviewed for the new 2015 artic seabed borders. Norways submission has already been approved. The other three claimants are still doing the RESPECTIVE research required to gather the scientific data to substantiate their submissions. The current maps of the artic seabed have been released by the international boundaries research unit at the university of Durham (ibru). There has been much ado about the Russian claim. The MERE mention of Russia wishing to increase the area of the a arctic they control has ELICITED cries of Russian expansionism meant to EVOKE the days of the Cold War. In reality, the new Russian proposal will actually have only a NOMINAL effect on the artic seabed boundaries. The DIMINUTIVE countries actually all have a very cordial working relationship.
