“There are rules about how nations may make claims in the area. In the past, all the issues in the Arctic were dormant because of the ice. It may be that they could have claimed, but they really weren’t in a rush to do so. As it melts, what was dormant is now very active. I think it’s an exaggeration to say that they are somehow moving towards conflict. But they are being energetic, in fact, working together to figure out who has a proper claim to what.”
