As the polar ice caps in the Arctic region begin to melt and recede, various peoples and nations are approaching this change with quite different images of that region. In this wide-ranging lecture involving boundary disputes, environmental and resource concerns, as well as indigenous peoples, David Caron – the President of the American Society of International Law – identifies the images involved, the politics and law implicit in each, and the futures for the Arctic that are both possible and likely.
