I just read an article suggesting the Arctic might become the next big bone of contention, as the melting ice there yields access to immense natural resources that above all Russia claims for herself. Russian president Medwedew has issued a warning to other countries regarding the situation as more and more other countries try to claim their stakes up there.
Well if you just go by the old rule of exclusive economic zones, Russia would naturally have a rather large claim to the arctic as would Canada and Greenland.
