The Far North, once an overlooked part of the globe, is changing faster than its ice is melting. The Arctic is now the center of geopolitical disruption. National business, military, and cultural leaders — with sometimes competing interests — are looking for creative ways to use the region to their advantage. The pace of change — and the range of raw opportunity — is staggering.
Innovation and new alliances are born every week. Essential industries such as shipping, seabed mining, and even sustainable steel production emerge and recede. Power players and capital flows migrate. To succeed, enterprises must forge unique political and business partnerships, adopt new ways of thinking, and find new sources of investment. The stakes are high, and the opportunities are vast.
From the Nordic nations and the High Atlantic, to Canada and Alaska, we work to deliver timely coverage of the transformation of this important region. Arctic Today’s writers and reporters dig out original content, while we partner with local news organizations and writers to paint a portrait of the changes taking place.
For readers searching for independent coverage from and about Russia, Arctic Today partners with the Barents Observer. This courageous, Kirkenes, Norway-based news site is staffed with dissident Russian journalists who fled their homeland to continue examining major events in Russia and the region. These journalists are fearlessly exploring the actions of the Russian regime and Russia’s rapidly expanding reach in the Arctic.
