The Arctic seabed becomes a contested resource frontier as global warming melts ice that once made drilling and shipping impossible. Al Jazeera's Fault Lines correspondent Josh Rushing travels to the Far North to track how Canada, the United States, Russia, Norway, and Greenland are positioning themselves ahead of a UN deadline for nations to submit scientific claims to the seabed. The film follows the logic of the boom: fossil fuels and minerals long locked under ice come within reach, new shipping routes open through once-impassable channels, and countries start mapping territory before their rivals do. Rushing moves between government offices making the case for extraction and indigenous communities weighing what oil spills and industrial traffic would mean for a way of life built around the land and water. The reporting stays close to the tension between opportunity and risk rather than settling it, laying out who stands to profit, who stands to lose the most, and how a warming climate is what makes this entire scramble possible in the first place.
