The Arctic landscape is both pristine and rich in natural resources (precious metals, minerals, diamonds, hydrocarbons, etc.) – factors by which are currently attracting attention in both the scientific, political, and economic spheres due in part to the fluctuation of the region’s climate.

Characterized as an educational website, Polarwarming.ca provides a Canadian perspective as to current geopolitical issues and events unfolding in the Arctic.  Secondly, a Polar Blog section is provided to summarize news related articles and offer commentary.

Polarwarming.ca attributes its origin and continued growth from a research thesis undertaken through the Political Science program at Carleton University (2005).  The research thesis assessed the relationship of the melting Arctic polar ice mass and its impact upon Canadian sovereignty.

As a starting point, the adjacent links offer a useful Canadian Arctic overview.
