The thaw is moving forward in the Arctic circle. A situation that is conducive to the discovery of the world’s greatest mine. The thaw of the Poles is one of the most critical and obvious phenomena of climate change. In recent decades have been characterized by the accelerated melting of glaciers and the reduction of ice strokes in the Arctic and the Antarctic.
This reality changes the beauty and stability of polar landscapes, in addition to considerably influencing in the worldwide environment. The farewell to large layers of ice has an impact on biodiversity. It also increases sea level and derives from significant changes in climate patterns, causing the risk of coastal communities and entire ecosystems.
The kick -off of IJss, mainly generated by the emission of greenhouse gases and other events related to human activity, has become an urgent alert. Although this time it is “served” to find the largest mine in the world.
The polar circle reveals its potential (hitherto hidden)
The largest mine in the world has been found in GreenlandWhere the great loss of ice leaves evidence from the natural resources of the island. This context offers greater accessibility for large reserves to unleash critical minerals, the most impressive in the world.
This discovery has led Greenland In the center of the geopolitical scene in recent times. It should be noted that for a long period, Greenland It is presented for a Western alternative to the almost monopoly of China About rare earth elements (remember that, according to various studies, China It is the territory that the most rare land sources).
On the other hand, the President of the United States, Donald TrumpHas expressed his interest on various occasions to reach control over the territory, so that the perspective is exposed as an “absolute need” to achieve objectives related to national security.
“For national security and freedom purposes worldwide, United States of America feels that characteristic and control over Greenland It is an absolute necessity, “the American leader wrote through a statement.
During a recent press conference, Trump Do not exclude the possibility of resorting to military violence to repent Greenland in another territory of US. A geopolitics conflict that we develop more in -depth in this article.
The Arctic Polar Circle “Discovered” are hidden means: it makes China and Trump nervous
Years ago, the mining project of Kvanefjeldclose to NarsaqA municipality of 1,700 inhabitants who are just at the southern point of the largest island in the world caused an incredible controversy. Under the leadership of an Australian company, managed to extract rare earths and uranium, but the strong social opposition paused the proposal.
In 2021 a new law appeared that formed various requirements for my match that in practice “outside the game” left the project. Reservations are still present Greenland And the thaw is exposed, which was previously hidden.
The study “Global Rare Earth Elements Projects: new developments and supply chains” ((Worldwide projects of rare earth elements: new developments and supply chains translated in Spanish) published in Science Direct that reveals Kvanefjeld It is the second largest rare land site in the world and the sixth in uranium.
Moreover, according to his position, it is one of the most accessible spaces of the Arctic circle. And in fact it will have easier access because of the thawed. Large layers of ice and glaciers from Greenland Nowadays they are being replaced by Wetlands, Bushes and Sterile Rocks.
For this reason, the polar circle is on the mouth of everyone
According to an article Ucar – Center for Scientific EducationScientists already sound alarms over the melting of snow the ice on the island. They warn that this constant loss of ice can lead to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions and an elevated sea level.
In the case of mining companies, the ice setback Arctic circle It can mean the start of a “golden fever”.
“What is happening now is interesting because the waters all around Greenland They open early and close every year every time. And the ability to reach these remote places is much simpler than 20, 30, 40 or 70 years ago, “he said Roderick McillreeExecutive director of the mining company 80 milesbased on United KingdomA CNBC By video call.
Jakob Kløve Keuling, Chief Advisor of the Geological Service of Denmark and Greenland (Geu)He told the same middle telephone that “there is a huge potential (in Greenland) But for the time being there is not much mining on the move.
The thaw is moving forward in the Arctic circleExposing the largest mine in the world still without exploitation. At the same time, the world continues to be treated by the “zombie” megaintio in the Arctic area so that we can lose a continent.
