In one hundred years, or even fifty, the Arctic will look
dramatically different than it does today. As polar ice retreats
and animals and plants migrate northward, the arctic landscape is
morphing into something new and very different from what it once
was. While these changes may seem remote, they will have a
profound impact on a host of global issues, from international
politics to animal migrations. In

Future Arctic reveals the inside story of how politics and
climate change are altering the polar world in a way that will
have profound effects on economics, culture, and the environment
as we know it. Struzik takes readers up mountains and cliffs, and
along for the ride on snowmobiles and helicopters, sailboats and
icebreakers. His travel companions, from wildlife scientists to
military strategists to indigenous peoples, share diverse
insights into the science, culture and geopolitical tensions of
this captivating place. With their help, Struzik begins piecing
together an environmental puzzle: How might the land’s most
iconic species—caribou, polar bears, narwhal—survive? Where will
migrating birds flock to? How will ocean currents shift? And what
fundamental changes will oil and gas exploration have on
economies and ecosystems? How will vast unclaimed regions of the
Arctic be divided?
