The Arctic shelf holds vast mineral wealth (rare earths, oil, gas, diamonds, gold, iron, zinc, copper, etc.), with Arctic nations like Russia, US, Canada, Norway, and Denmark claiming rights under the UNCLOS treaty, though the US hasn't ratified it, creating complexities, while the race intensifies to map extended continental shelves for exclusive rights to these critical resources for energy and technology.
Whoever OWNS land near the Artic circle , OWNS The Rights to Mine Sea Shelf.The more land A county owns near artic, the more minerals it gets.
Please... maybe it is a side benefit of owning Greenland.But the reason We need to OWN it, and not lease.

It is not so much the minerals on land .It is the deal that ,Whatever country owns land next to Artic Circle. The artic sea shelf is the mother load of minerals! It has already been settled that the more land a county owns the more right they have to mine the artic sea shelf.
