All four countries are now engaging in substantial scientific research to determine the co-ordinates of their nort...

The drowned mountains, first identified in 1963 by U.S. researchers aboard a drifting ice station named Alpha, were first substantially investigated by Canadian scientists a quarter-century ago. The 1983 Canadian Expedition to Study the Alpha Ridge produced groundbreaking maps of the region, but [Jacob Verhoef]'s research team is seeking definitive evidence that the massive rock formation is geologically linked to Canada's established continental shelf. Alpha Ridge offers one of Canada's best chances to convince the international scientific community and other polar nations that this country's continental shelf continues for hundreds of kilometres across the floor of the Arctic Ocean. If the claim is accepted, Canada could -- given the rapid melting of the Arctic ice cap, and the growin...
