The Arctic an incredibly rich area. It is about the same  geographic size as the African continent – about 6% of Earth’s surface  area – yet it holds an estimated 22 percent of Earth’s oil and natural  gas resource. Most of this the Arctic is poorly explored for oil and  natural gas. The United States Geological Survey estimates that the  Arctic contains approximately 13 percent of the world’s undiscovered  conventional oil resources and about 30 percent of its undiscovered  conventional natural gas resources.

Greenland is a main front of the Arctic cold war. It has a US Space base  and US air fields. It has about 60 billion barrels of oil. It has  hundreds of billions in rare earth minerals. It is a key part of Arctic  shipping routes.
