Russia backs its claims for Arctic Shelf with evidence

Russia backs its claims for Arctic Shelf with evidence: Moscow (Voice of Russia) Nov 07, 2012



A Russian expedition has finished investigations which were meant to prove that the Arctic Shelf in the Arctic Ocean is a continuation of the Eurasian continent, and, thus, should belong to Russia.

The expedition lasted 3 months and gathered about 22,000 samples of soil from the Arctic Ocean's bottom.
