丹麦欲对北极提出主权要求
<p>近日，一份遭泄露的丹麦官方文件显示，丹麦政府正计划对北极点及北极圈多处地区提出主权要求，丹麦科技部已经开始收集数据，并将于2017年前向联合国大陆架界限委员会提交申请。近年来，北极地区日益融化的冰川将会提供新的航运线路、渔场和油气开发机会。据悉，该地区未开发的油气藏量占全球的四分之一。俄罗斯、挪威、加拿大以及美国对北极部分地区也都有主权要求。丹麦政府若想成功申请到主权，就必须有证据证明北极与格陵兰岛在地理上是相互关联的，而格陵兰岛被划入丹麦领土已有600多年了。</p><p><span word="Denmark">Denmark</span> <span word="plans">plans</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="lay">lay</span> <span word="claim">claim</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="North">North</span> <span word="Pole">Pole</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="areas">areas</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Arctic">Arctic</span>, <span word="where">where</span> <span word="melting">melting</span> <span word="ice">ice</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="creating">creating</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="shipping">shipping</span> <span word="routes">routes</span>, <span word="fishing">fishing</span> <span word="grounds">grounds</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="drilling">drilling</span> <span word="opportunities">opportunities</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="oil">oil</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="gas">gas</span>, <span word="according">according</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="leaked">leaked</span> <span word="government">government</span> <span word="document">document</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="draft">draft</span> <span word="document">document</span> <span word="titled">titled</span> "<span word="Strategy">Strategy</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Arctic">Arctic</span>" <span word="said">said</span> <span word="Denmark">Denmark</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="Science">Science</span> <span word="Ministry">Ministry</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="started">started</span> <span word="collecting">collecting</span> <span word="data">data</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="formally">formally</span> <span word="submit">submit</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="claim">claim</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="several">several</span> <span word="areas">areas</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="UN">UN</span> <span word="Commission">Commission</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Limits">Limits</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Continental">Continental</span> <span word="Shelf">Shelf</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="later">later</span> <span word="than">than</span> 2017.</p><p><span word="To">To</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="successful">successful</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Danes">Danes</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="present">present</span> <span word="evidence">evidence</span> <span word="proving">proving</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="North">North</span> <span word="Pole">Pole</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="geologically">geologically</span> <span word="linked">linked</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="Greenland">Greenland</span> - <span word="which">which</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="part">part</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Denmark">Denmark</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="than">than</span> 600 <span word="years">years</span></p><p><span word="Russia">Russia</span>, <span word="Norway">Norway</span>, <span word="Canada">Canada</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="US">US</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="claims">claims</span> - <span word="sometimes">sometimes</span> <span word="competing">competing</span> - <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="region">region</span> <span word="believed">believed</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="hold">hold</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="as">as</span> 25 <span word="per">per</span> <span word="cent">cent</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="world">world</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="undiscovered">undiscovered</span> <span word="oil">oil</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="gas">gas</span>.</p>
