Countries seek control of the Arctic primarily for its vast Natural Resources, including oil, gas, and minerals, which are becoming more accessible due to melting ice. Additionally, the region offers new shipping routes that can reduce transit times for global trade. Strategic military interests and national security concerns also motivate nations to assert their claims in the Arctic. The potential for scientific research and environmental monitoring further adds to the region's significance.
The arctic isn't a country. Many countries have territories in the arctic.
Most all of them.
