Canada Announces Arctic Base As Nations Compete For Sovereignty Over Region ยปAssociated Press ROB GILLIES August 10, 2007 11:50 PM
Canada's prime minister announced plans Friday for an army training center and a deepwater port on the third day of an Arctic trip meant to assert sovereignty over a region, while Denmark said it was staking its own claim with a scientific expedition.
The United States, meanwhile, launched an expedition Friday toward the Arctic to map the sea floor off Alaska, but a scientist linked to the project denied the U.S. was actively joining the Acrtic competition.
