Our North

In the Northern world's mad race to claim a disputed region in the Arctic, which is land we Canadians always assumed was ours...like the maps say, a team of Canadian and Danish scientists seem to have found "proof that the Lomonosov Ridge is, in fact, a natural extension of the North American continent."

In your face underwater-flag-planting-Russia!

The team's "landmark findings" are being "presented at the 2008 International Geological Congress in Oslo under the innocuous title "Crustal Structure from the Lincoln Sea to the Lomonosov Ridge, Arctic Ocean.""

Here's to the success of their presentation and to the hope that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) approves our submission in 2013!
