I'm sure this will play a large part in not allowing Russia there:
"Under international law, no country owns the North Pole. Instead, the five surrounding Arctic states, Russia, the US, Canada, Norway and Denmark (via Greenland), are limited to a 200-mile economic zone around their coasts."

What sucks is that given our tendancy to chase after countries with oil, this could be a huge problem.
