- Summary:
- A report from the Arctic Circle about the competition for oil and mineral resources between Norway, Greenland, Canada, United States and Russia, since climate change is opening up the Arctic Ocean. United States scientists and naval personnel built a makeshift city called Sargo over the Arctic ice for a five-week long scientific and military exercise called ICEX 2016. Their mission was to learn how to survive and operate in the extreme weather conditions and to map the underneath portion of the ice so drones can patrol the waters looking for enemy submarines because last year, Russia staged an unannounced military exercise in the Arctic. Includes interviews with: Chuck McGuire, principal engineer at the University of Washington's applied physics lab; Commander Scott Parker, Navy Atlantic Submarine Force meteorologist; Doug Horner, Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) research professor; Ret. General Philip Breedlove, Commander, U.S. European Command; Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus; and Commander Theron Davis, Commanding Officer, USS Hampton. Also includes comments by Commander Scott Luers, ice camp officer-in-tactical-command.
