Many countries in the Arctic are trying to claim a piece of the Arctic because they have discovered that the Arctic has 13% of world's undiscovered oil and 30% of the world's undiscovered gases. Below there is a picture of what countries right now have a piece of the Arctic. Russia has the biggest piece of the Arctic Ocean because a lot of it borders part of the ocean. Canada has the second largest piece of the ocean because Canada has the second largest piece of it bordering the ocean. The United States has a very small piece because Alaska borders the Arctic Ocean but Alaska is very small and only a little bit of it borders the ocean. The two smallest pieces are Denmark and Norway. The cold war is still heating up and will become bigger very soon.
