Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Arctic Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on September 15, 2017, and transitioned some of our coverage to Oceans Deeply, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on the Arctic. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].

Russian military operations in the Arctic and on-going political tensions elsewhere in the world are feeding fears that Russian icebreakers will soon be seen charging into Canadian waters. In reality, Canada is highly unlikely to see such a challenge and initiatives aimed at preventing such incursions are certain to fail.
