Symposium examines challenges, opportunities in a changing Arctic

摘要

The arrival of cruise ships in the Arctic is perhaps the most obvious sign that things are changing in the ocean that circles the North Pole. In September, more than 1,000 passengers and 600 crew-members on board the cruise ship Crystal Serenity steamed through the Northwest Passage. The cruise was a harbinger of increased activity not only for cruise vessels but for shipping, oil exploration and recovery and more.
