The Far North, once an overlooked part of the globe, is changing faster than its ice is melting. National business, military, and cultural leaders — with sometimes competing interests — are looking for creative ways to use the region to their advantage. The pace of change — and the range of raw opportunity — is staggering.
Innovation is leading the way. New and sometimes untested approaches are being used in industries including ecotourism, seabed mining, and even sustainable steel production. To succeed, these enterprises must forge unique political and business partnerships, adopt new ways of thinking, and find new sources of investment. The stakes are high, and the opportunities are vast.
That’s why Arctic Today developed the Arctic Business Journal. We work to deliver timely and lively coverage of this innovation and to develop a clear understanding of the transformation of this important region. Arctic Today’s writers and reporters dig out original content, and we partner with local news organizations to paint a comprehensive and lively portrait of the changes taking place in this rapidly developing part of the globe.
For readers with a special interest in Russia, ABJ partners with the Barents Observer. This courageous, Norway-based news site is staffed with dissident Russian journalists who fled their homeland to continue examining major events in Russia and the region. These journalists are fearlessly exploring the actions of the Russian regime and Russia’s rapidly expanding reach in the Arctic.
Soon, Arctic Today will introduce a new kind of travel content: Travel North. This ongoing feature will help the intrepid traveler explore, firsthand, all the Arctic has to offer. From cross-country horseback trekking in Greenland to cozy nights in ice hotels, readers will explore the modern Arctic and discover the unique beauties of this region of the world.
We welcome your interest.
