The Northwest Passage in the Canadian High Arctic is open for commercial shipping.
As the summer sea ice minimum decreases year-over-year , the world is faced with the very real possibility that trans-Northwest shipping will become not just possible, but economically viable.
The legal status of the waters in question have long been in contention, but the issue was non-urgent.
In this age of global change, perhaps the international community will agree that the Arctic needs to be preserved and restored as best as possible.
This would require a cooperative approach between governments (and the indigenous people who call the Arctic home, something the Antarctic lacks) Perhaps a similar fate awaits the Northwest Passage (and other parts of the Arctic ).
