As more and more countries express interest in Arctic exploration, none of them – especially the US – is capable of overcoming Russia’s achievements in this sphere, The New York Times reported.
The US is dragging far behind Russia in the exploration of the Arctic, including both the development of transit routes across its territories and the natural resources hidden in those areas, many American experts admitted, as quoted by The New York Times.
We have been for some time clamoring about our nation’s lack of capacity to sustain any meaningful presence in the Arctic,” said Adm. Paul F. Zukunft, Coast Guard commandant.
Barack Obama will be the first sitting US president to travel to the country’s Arctic territories. During his visit scheduled for August 31, the American leader aims to drag the world community’s attention to the problems of global warming.
