Fault Lines looks at the potential environmental impact of resource extraction in the Arctic, and what that might mean for the people who live there. • The UN has imposed a 2013 deadline for the submission of scientific claims to the Arctic seabed. It is the precursor to a resource boom which would see Canada, the US, Russia, Norway and Greenland all attempt to exploit the region's resources. • These Arctic countries are desperately mapping out their territories so they can tap into the fossil fuels and minerals locked beneath the fast melting ice. • And with global warming speeding up the melting of the Polar ice caps, potential shipping routes are opening up - raising concerns about oil spills, and control over these new passageways. • Fault Lines' Josh Rushing heads to the Far North to see first-hand how Arctic countries are responding to the potential bonanza. • Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe • Follow us on Twitter: / ajenglish • Find us on Facebook: / aljazeera • Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ • #AlJazeeraEnglish #FaultLines #Arctic
