Almost two centuries after British explorer Sir John Franklin and his men died amid paralyzing cold and ice in pursuit of the mythical Northwest Passage, the Arctic—in response to temperatures greater than at any time in the last ten thousand years—is melting at an alarming pace. Instead of heeding this clear sign that the world must reduce greenhouse gas emissions to prevent runaway warming, countries such as the United States, Russia, China, and Canada are instead racing to control newly ice-free waters and the riches in the seabed below. But by choosing short-term self-interest over cooperative action, they may be condemning the world to an uninhabitable future.

The Arctic: a featureless expanse of permanent ice, but even here the fury of World War II raged. A battle for mineral resources and strategic interests. Between 1940 and 1945, tens of thousands of soldiers fought above the Arctic Circle in temperatures as low as -60 degrees, abandoned to their fate and forgotten by the outside world.
