The ice in the Arctic is disappearing. Melting Arctic ice means new economic opportunities: trade routes in the Arctic ocean, and access to natural resources. Because of this, the Arctic nations are now moving to expand their border claims. Russia has shown that it’s the most ambitious, using a potent combination of soft power and military buildup to advance its agenda. They’ve said the Arctic is rightfully theirs.

Vox Borders is a new international documentary series presented by Emmy-nominated videojournalist Johnny Harris. For this series, Johnny is producing six 10-15 minute documentaries about different borders stories from around the world.
Here's the second Vox Borders episode. Being in the Arctic in the summer was an experience I'll never forget, 24 hours of sunlight per day was intense to say the least. Third documentary is coming next Tuesday! Sign up for my newsletter to stay up to date: www.vox.com/borders-email. Thanks everyone for following along this journey.

So when the world warms up so much that the northern ice cap shrinks away, we move in to find more oil. Humans never learn.
Manchease Skrelpher yeah we do. We will us the profit from the oil to invest in alternative forms of energy.
And you will clearly never learn grammar.
Manchease Skrelpher northern countries will lose land if the ocean rises.
Make every tourist bring one tray of ice cubes from home when they visit. They can use the ice cubes to rebuild the ice sheets. Problem solved.

Concern: The world is ending.
USA: No

USA: ✈️✈️✈️ Let's go.
except the whole video was about how Russia is doing all that. Yea...the US is full of corruption and overprojection and rude and uneducated citizens. China has a lot of it's own awful stuff going on.....so does India....so does Europe....so does Russia. But all you can think about is how bad the US is. You need to diversify your ridicule my friend!
Well that's not the whole truth. India has no history of invading foreign nations with the purpose of stealing their oil reserves, this credit goes to US. Besides, no other country boasts of being the father of world and interfere in someone's internal matters. So, if USA presents itself as the world leader then it should work on vital issues such as global warming. However, your president signed off the Paris agreement. Hats off to USA.

I think it's cool that the UN meetings for the continental shelf limits are done by scientists and not diplomats. Maybe we should have more scientists and less politicians helping discuss issues like borders.
Dr. Zola approve your comment 😈
You'd think that would actually help
but it doesn't
Politicians are con men who manipulated a saying for their liking.
waylon lewin Mexico, South America, and China have no claims to the ocean because they are not Nordic countries.
diplomats aren't politicians. the border dispute is often taken to the International Court of Justice. The exercising of government authority is based on Article 15 of UNCLOS.

The sad thing is these are the least likely countries to own it. There not more powerful than russia or US. Although they are powerful european powers.
Nope they don’t
The fact that someone can start seeing global warming (and the ice caps melting) as economically profitable is the biggest danger to the planet right now
Martin Menendez
Dude, it's Russia.
Martin Menendez But it actually can be profitable
It is for the 6-8 arctic nations though (unfortunately). Russia especially can have massive gains by opening up gas and oil resources, new trade routes connecting Asia, North America and Europe, and Russia will finally gain non-frozen Sea ports, which is a large reason for the aggression in the Ukraine and Syria.
It is a danger for sure. Not as potent as US withdrawing from the Paris agreement and such, but still.

They are probably never going to stop regretting selling alaska to us
I don't think you educated yourself on the issue. They sold it because they'd rather have the Americans have than the British who were still in Canada. Please educate yourself on how and why the USA bought so much land and how they kicked Mexicans out of their own land that they were living in for generations.
Also I think it is the closed part of the USA to Russia. In addition there are lots of water reserves to suply USA. If I am wrong please correct me...

Anima Manager russia would be a great ally for us to have
@Anima 'Evil Russian stereotype" ... Lol ... Putin is a James Bond villain.
This is a perfect example of why climate change won't be solved. When countries can gain so much from it, why would they do anything against it?
Especially Russia, who is highly dependent on fossil fuels, and now it can get access to up to 30% of the reserves
spinakker14 it also perfectly explains why we could solve it. Instead of competing with Russia for oil and gas resources we could just switch to renewable energy. Of course this wouldn't solve the need for arctic transportation
Steven Rosas well, the US just withdrew from the Paris agreement, and since the fossil fuel lobby is still very powerful there, I doubt they will do any meaningful change soon.
But you are right. Renewable energy is the solution, and I'm hoping countries make the transition to it soon
Countries in the Arctic region produce relatively little carbon emissions, compared with US for example. Norway and Canada in particular seem to be doing more to cut on carbon emissions than most other countries. So no, it is still very much possible to solve climate change, given that we all would be rational about it.
True. Same for Canada! Climate change means new resources up north, easier trade routes (mentioned already), being a key-player in a new era, and a warmer climate for us (only Vancouver would be the major city to be affected by rising sea levels, the majority of Canadians won't be affected). I understand how seasons would go extreme, and I still hope we fight it, but Canada doesn't have much to complain about if it kept happening!
cuz boi when that arctic ice completely melts, figuring how to burn all the fossil fuel on hand would be that last thing humanity will have in mind. remember that ice doesn't just melt in one place when it melts, it will melt across the globe; then that stuff in movies won't be fiction no more, so humanity better see the reality and not the oil fantasy.
Omg this would literally be my dream job. I am an anthropologist and studying remote areas such as these, but also bringing them in bigger context with global politics, economics and social life would be absolutely my dream! I love the vox videos and all of them are so informative. They create a good understanding of complex problems in a easy to understand way. This makes it very accessible for everyone.
China will say it's theirs, you know, since ancient times.... LOL
Haha, I'm half Chinese and I hate that line, and you don't see them going after former territories in Mongolia, Outer Manchuria which is now part of Russia or Vietnam! Now that China is rich and powerful, they are now bullying their neighbors like Russia or the US did.
@@jeromefitzroy - It's the 21st Century. Countries don't annex territory anymore (except for Russia with Crimea). China wasn't very powerful a few decades ago, but it bullied and took over the even weaker Tibet.
A poor old China did beat India in 1962 and took the historical related to China territory of Aksai Chin.

"We can only hope that Russia continues to play by the rules." - Vox
As much as I may think that the Russian government is territorial and aggressive, the notion that the US won't try to throw its weight around (especially under the Trump administration, where he wants to play king, and ignore the rules) is absurd. Try ending this video with, "We can only hope the arctic nations all act like neighbors rather than _polar_ opposites."
If Trump ever opposes Putin in any meaningful way I'll eat my shoe.

That ending tho👌👌👌
The US throwing around its weight would be a good thing, in this situation. Something to counter the Russians.

This was amazing thank you for doing this and educating!
i would argue the opposite. I would argue that a more effective way to prevent problems in the arctic and to help deal with climate change in the arctic would be to prevent nations from claiming land at all and to treat the arctic more similarly to antarctica. The borders series has proven how dangerous and harmful broders can potentially be if not managed properly. Love the show tho
Call me skeptical, but it doesn’t surprise me that the Russians living there were perhaps reluctant to talk politics to an American interviewer
Not if they didn't want their words twisted out of shape, that is.
I agree, they dont want trouble.
I have encountered several russians that share this attitude when inquired about politics, and I am not north american
I'd go with you being skeptical. Not everything revolves around politics. It's the same as asking the people who went as west as they possibly could in the Gold Rush era if they considered that the US's political ambitions had motivated them.
They'd just tell you that they had money on their mind.
You should approach topics as being critical rather than skeptical. I know, tiny semantic difference - but it's pretty important - since being critical puts more emphasis in the complexity of truth.
Holy sh.... I'm russian, living in Russia, we do care mostly about our on lives, than about crooked goverment we live with. Cos it's like a canser, we simply can't control it, for many reasons. I didn't see any fear in this people, they simply didn't care much.

Arctic Ocean: exists
Russia: Its free real estate
why are governments more worried about their influence than the melting ice
Yeah, the answer is cash. A country like Russia does not care about the environment, because they make too much money on oil and natural gas.
$$$$
Because global warming will probably not stop anytime soon, and thus this new area will become more valuable as the area around the equator will become uninhabitable. Pretty much thus securing their position as a future power and ensuring the survival of their people. Which is if you think about it the whole concern around global warming. Global warming will not end life on earth, but it might end the human race. Trust me, life will adapt and overcome, we just won't.
Because you are stupid, and governments are not. They can do nothing about melting ice. Global warming is not caused by humans. Global coolings and warmings have always been part of the earth's history.
because government is still there to run when there's no more ice. yes, the effect of climate change is bad, but seeing how people defying nature (coastal embankment, storm water management, sea water desalination plant, gmo foods), it's safe to say that the government and people is still going to exist.
We should be focusing on the melting not how to make money of it

Teacher - "So what's your take on the themes explored between Lennie and George's relationship in Of Mice And Men?"
You - "Climate change is building a strategic superpower in the arctic that Russia is laying claim to and we're doing nothing about it"
Thought it was also relevant to mention that Canada has recently ordered 12 new warships, consisting of primarily icebreakers for the arctic, drastically expanding their maritime fleet. Military exercises have also been run, and their Arctic military base, CFS Alert, has seen increased activity.
Yes! While I totally understand that Russia is showing a more aggressive look (because that's basically their trademark), I thought this went very easy on Canada which would benefit from this ocean at least as much as Russia.
I'm a geologist living in Canada, and there's a lot of resources located in the arctic, ranging from gold, to diamond and oil. The cost of transportation from the arctic is very high, so only a few select deposit are actually economically viable. Having an access to the arctic ocean would be a game changer for the regions of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. And don't go thinking that Canada is going to play nice and not get those resources even if they harm the environment, because they're currently extracting oil sands in Alberta ( Oil / Tar sands release a lot more CO2 into the atmosphere than traditional oil because they need much more energy to be processed).
Recent is probably the key word. Good chance this video was recorded almost a year ago.

Well I also wanted to know the stakes of all Arctic countries and also how US is not involved. I mean they didn't leave any side in Asia such as American Samoa which is not even close to mainland so how come they're letting of something which is their Mainland region
Title of the video should’ve been “Russia in the Arctic.” I kinda wanted to hear about the other Arctic countries as well :/

Guys, this video is about the borders on the artartic Ocean and Russia is the biggest player there with the most military activity.
It is natural to talk about them allot.
I agree, but here this episode feeled like propaganda document while not even mentoning us military activity in greenland and other arctic areas. If he would made this episode about arctic borders it would be much interesting and then bringing these strategic places with other military activities in whole ice sea area. But now its just scaring ppl who arent so interested in these stuff.
I really like this serie, but this episode was simply bad propaganda video. Like Im interested in this kind places, but as i see this island is economically strategic place and there is no military activities. Also according this doc they got agreement with 45 countries. So does these 44 countries other countries have any activities on the island? What was point bringing that blonde with cold war propaganda and bringing obviously Russians military navy activities (tranings) in this episode while this navy don't have anything to do with this island. And if it would if would be huge conflict in area which would be in everyone's knowledge. And for balance making viewers believes that US dont have any military activities in whole arctic area?
Anyway interesting place and would like in future that serie would bring in episodes both side o view in these conflict areas and try to be neutral in political questions.
Like you can see what one point view causes in this comment section.. if this episode would be balanced i bet ppl wouldnt be arguing with their believes… Anyway have a nice day you all. Peace and love ,)

9:44 WTF happened to Finland on that map :D
nothing, look at the google maps
The map i a old one. The map is of Russian empire and Finland was a part of it.

They're doing it legitimately so far. They're taking the biggest initiative in the race for the north, and if they resort to aggresive action and policy in the end, the other nations can only blame themselves for not being prepared when it's been very clear (for decades now actually) that Russia has been building up their northern infrastrucures.
As soon as I saw Russia on the intro map, I knew there was going to be asshattery. It's always the same with China, as well.
